Next week, it’s Halloween 2026! Are your children’s candies and chocolate for trick-or-treat ready? Is your Halloween costume ready? Or, are your costumes ready? If not, and it’s still too early, then check this out – Lyft is giving away free rides to take you home safely after those celebrations!
People looking to celebrate Halloween with some booze – and this isn’t only during Cinco de Mayo and St. Patrick’s Day – then you are entitled to access free Lyft rides. This, if you are in the District of Columbia area.
This, to prevent drunk driving, and accidents associated with this. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 29.2 percent of the traffic fatalities in America in 2024 involved drunk drivers.
“Over a third of American traffic fatalities during Halloween involve drunk drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” authorities from the Washington Regional Alcohol Program, or WRAP, tell Ridesharingforum.com.
In October, over 4,000 people in the Washington metropolitan area used the Halloween SoberRide program, the highest number for a single campaign in the program’s 35-year history, according to the authorities.
The initiative, titled the Halloween SoberRide Program 2026, will offer eligible riders up to $15 off a Lyft ride home this Friday, October 30th, and this Saturday, October 31st. So, feel free to make the most out of this spooky event.
The program is to run from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. on both of these nights, available around this area for residents aged 21 and older, and drinking.
To redeem this offer and make it available, riders may download the Lyft official app, and enter the SoberRide promotional code in the app’s Payment tab under the “Add Lyft Pass” option. The codes are to get posted 9 p.m. on those two dates on their official website as well.
Established in the 1980s, WRAP is a nonprofit organization preventing drunk driving and underage drinking throughout metropolitan Washington, D.C., through public education, advocacy, community partnerships, and innovative transportation safety initiatives.
On the other hand, operated by WRAP, SoberRide provides Lyft rides covering up to $15 for adults aged 21 and older during major holidays, helping prevent impaired driving throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Happy Halloween! ‘Til then, okay!
