Through public education, innovative health education programs and advocacy, WRAP is credited with keeping the metro-Washington area’s alcohol-related traffic deaths consistently lower than the national average. WRAP, however, may best be known to area residents via the organization’s popular free cab ride service for would-be drunk drivers, SoberRide® – a public safety initiative which, since 1993 alone, has provided 60,724 no-cost cab rides home to Greater Washington residents who otherwise may have driven drunk. Don’t forget about WRAP’s SoberRide® program this Halloween. If you’re celebrating with alcohol between the hours of 10 pm on Friday, October 31, 2014 and 4 am on Saturday, November 1, 2014, call 1 – 800 – 200 – TAXI (or #WRAP for AT&T wireless users) and be afforded a free and safe taxi ride home. (Must be 21 or older to use this service.) See www.soberride.com for more details.
