Drivers Celebrating With Alcohol on Cinco De Mayo Have Safe Travel Options

MCDOT urges residents who choose to celebrate with alcohol to plan ahead for a safe ride home. Residents are urged to make plans before heading out to celebrate and to consider the use of one of the following safe ride options:

  • SoberRide is a free ride home program for adults offered through the Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) in partnership with Lyft. WRAP’s SoberRide® program will be in operation beginning at 4 p.m. on Monday, May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) through 4 a.m. on Tuesday, May 6. Participants must be 21+.
  • MCDOT’s Ride On bus service is available with a fare of $1. There are currently 80 routes throughout the County that operate daily. Download MCDOT’s free regional public transit app, Ride On Trip Planner, to plan your next trip.
