Santa Fe County DWI Program to Offer $1 Cab Rides Home New Year’s Eve

Santa Fe, NM – December 27, 2012 - Ring in the New Year with a safe ride home New Year’s Eve. The Santa Fe County DWI Program is expanding the $1 CADDy cab ride home from a bar for New Year’s Eve. This year you can take a $1 ride home from 5:30 p.m. on Monday, December 31 until 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 1.

Revelers should call 438-0000 for a ride home from a bar or party where alcohol is served. Cab riders pay $1 each and Santa Fe County DWI Program covers the rest of the cost up to $25. Cab riders are responsible for the difference in fares over $25.

The Santa Fe County DWI Program offers this service in cooperation with Capital City Cab Company and is intended to keep drunk drivers off the street, offering a safe alternative to the danger of DWI.

More than 13,000 people have used the CADDy (chauffer and designated driver) service this year. Visit www.santafecountynm.gov/community_services/hhsd/dwi_programfor more information.
