(Indianapolis, IN) – Indiana is once again a destination for basketball fans this month. To help people stay safe while visiting, Sober Ride Indiana is offering a discount on sober rides.
Gainbridge Fieldhouse is hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship on March 22 and 24. The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) encourages fans to designate a sober driver to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
“The NCAA Tournament is a time for fans to come together and cheer on their favorite team,” said Devon McDonald, Executive Director for ICJI. “We want everyone to enjoy the games, but safety is our top priority.”
Sober Ride Indiana is working to prevent impaired driving around the NCAA tournament by offering $10 off Uber and Lyft rides, with up to 1,000 redemptions available each day. Ride credits are available from March 21-24.
Ride credits can only be redeemed between the hours of 5 p.m. and 3 a.m. Rides are available if they originate in or have a destination of Indianapolis or Fort Wayne.
ICJI created Sober Ride Indiana in 2020 to combat impaired driving, particularly around high-risk holidays and events. The program receives federal funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
To redeem a $10 ride credit, visit SoberRideIndiana.com. Click on “Redeem Ride Credits” and follow the instructions for the chosen ride service. Tips are not included in the discount, and users are responsible for any charges exceeding $10. Possession of the code does not guarantee the availability of the credit.
