This initiative aims to combat the prevalence of drunk driving by providing sober rides through popular rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft.
According to recent statistics from the National Safety Council (NSC), 40% of traffic fatalities on New Year's Day in 2021 involved an alcohol-impaired driver.

Under this program, individuals in Evansville, IN, and Owensboro, KY, are eligible for reimbursement of up to $30, including tip, for rides beginning or ending in these respective cities.

Submissions are limited to 25 per holiday.
To participate, individuals must meet the following criteria:
· Be of legal drinking age at the time of the ride.
· Submit a photo ID, a screenshot of the rideshare receipt, and their mailing address to Gerling Law's Evansville office.
· Submit the ride for reimbursement within seven days of the holiday.
