If you were out on Halloween weekend, a free ride home was on the table in Bowie. The Washington Regional Alcohol Program's handed out 2,175 free Lyft rides across the D.C. region, the second-highest Halloween total since the program began. Bowie was among the Prince George's County communities covered. President Kurt Erickson said that level of ridership translates into SoberRide “removing a potential drunk driver from Greater Washington’s roadways every 19-seconds.”

Last October set the record with 4,056 riders, according to WRAP. The nonprofit also runs SoberRide on Super Bowl Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day and the winter holidays through New Year's Eve, so keep the Lyft app handy.

  • Rides given: 2,175, from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1
  • Who qualified: ages 21 and older
  • Ride value: up to $15 per rider
  • Lifetime total: 107,244 free rides since 1991

SoberRide's free Lyft rides ran from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.
