Safe Ride Home Program

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 Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) program that offers reduced-cost rides for taxis and transportation network companies (like Lyft and Uber) 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. 

On certain holidays when people may be celebrating, the City of Portland's Bureau of Transportation offers coupons for discounted rides home. Rides must start in the City of Portland and are only valid during the promotional period. We typically offer discounts on Taxi, Uber and Lyft rides.   Permitted taxi companies in the City of Portland are Broadway Cab, Flat Cab, PDX Yellow Cab and Radio Cab.

The Safe Ride Home program is funded by the taxi permit fees and the 76-cent fee charged for every Lyft and Uber ride in Portland. The fee also covers safety inspections and the PDX WAV program that makes accessible on-demand vehicles available to people with wheelchairs or mobility devices in Portland.
