Discounted Uber and Lyft rides offered for Independence Day weekend

Discounted Uber and Lyft rides are available as Independence Day festivities continue this weekend.

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute reminds everyone to prioritize safety by designating a sober ride home. To help with this effort, the institute ICJI is offering $10 off Uber and Lyft rides through Sunday, according to an ICJI news release.

“This Fourth of July, celebrate safely,” said James Bryan, ICJI’s Traffic Safety Director. “Make sure to designate a sober driver when traveling to and from Fourth of July festivities.”

Up to 1,000 vouchers are available each day during the discount period. Ride credits are available between 5 p.m. and 3 a.m. the following day and must originate in, or have a final destination of Indianapolis or Fort Wayne, the news release says.

To redeem a ride credit through the program, visit SoberRideIndiana.com. Then, click on “Redeem Ride Credits” and follow the instructions for the ride-sharing service being used. 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, officials say.
