ND Sober Ride sees massive increase during the holiday season
For Immediate Release: Jan 10 2024
STATEWIDE, N.D. – ND Sober Ride continues to be the choice of many to get home safely after a night out.
A total of 281 rides were given from Dec. 19, 2023 – Jan. 2, 2024, an increase of 122 rides, or a 76% increase from the same period in 2022.
"Opting to use ND Sober Ride as your sober driver not only ensures you get home safely, but it also actively contributes to the collective goal of Vision Zero by eliminating the risks associated with impaired driving," said Highway Safety Division Director Karin Mongeon.
Rides are sponsored by AAA – The Auto Club Group of North Dakota. Companies interested in becoming a part of the solution can sponsor ND Sober Ride by contacting NDDOT Safety Public Information Program Manager, lwahlman@nd.gov.
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
