Santa Fe Standard

Santa Fe, NM—Cumulus Media Albuquerque, in collaboration with the Santa Fe County DWI Program, Bernalillo County Department of Behavioral Health, Sandoval County DWI Prevention, Glasheen Valles and Inderman Injury Lawyers, and Sandia Resort and Casino announced details for a safe ride option for 2024 Memorial Day weekend celebrations. The “Take A Ride on Us” program offers residents of Santa Fe, Bernalillo, and Sandoval Counties an alternative to driving under the influence.

The initiative will provide safe rides from 10 am on May 24th through 2 am on May 28th. Residents can use the Uber app and under VOUCHERS, add the code NMMD24 to receive a credit of up to $10 off two trips. The maximum number of trips available is 2500 on a first-come, first-served basis. The credit is valid only for rides and does not apply to Uber Eats or cover tips.

Residents will be reminded about the code throughout Memorial Day weekend via various radio stations including eD FM, Magic 99-5, 95.9 FM/610 AM The Sports Animal, and 94.5 The Pit.

"Cumulus Media Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, Sandoval County, Santa Fe County, Glasheen Valles and Inderman Injury Lawyers, Sandia Resort & Casino and ENDWI encourage residents to take advantage of this program rather than drive under the influence," said organizers in a statement. "By drinking responsibly and using the ‘Take a Ride on Us’ program together we can ENDWI."
