BISMARCK – Vision Zero’s ND Sober Ride program saw record use over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, providing 784 rides across North Dakota and marking a major milestone in the program’s fifth year.

The 2026 campaign included 265 rides through Lyft and 519 rides through Uber, which was added for the first time this year. In comparison, 126 rides were provided through Lyft during the St. Patrick’s Day campaign in 2025.

“ND Sober Ride continues to be a reliable option for North Dakotans who plan ahead and choose a sober ride,” said Karin Mongeon, North Dakota Department of Transportation Highway Safety Division director. “Expanding to include Uber allowed us to reach more people than ever before, helping prevent impaired driving.”

ND Sober Ride is part of the statewide initiative to end traffic deaths and serious injuries on N.D. roads.
