Safe Ride Home

Information
The words "SAFE RIDE HOME" in all caps, with various icons related to bars, entertainment, taxis, eating, drinking, and public transportation.
Safe Ride Home is a partnership between the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), taxis, transportation network companies (like Lyft and Uber), the Portland Police Bureau, and bar owners to offer reduced-cost rides on targeted holidays and events to prevent people driving under the influence.

Overview

Nearly half of Portland traffic deaths involve impairment. Through Vision Zero initiatives like Safe Ride Home, PBOT is helping to reduce impaired driving. During past events PBOT’s Safe Ride Home program helped over 3,300 Portlanders celebrate responsibly and get home safely during the December-January holiday season. During the holiday campaign, there were no fatal crashes related to impairment in Portland.

Make sure Safe Ride Home is part of your plans. Help make our streets safer by planning alternative rides for those who plan to drink.
