Safe Ride Initiatives Bring Free Rides on Independence Day
This Fourth of July, several prominent law firms across the United States are stepping up to promote safer celebrations by offering free or discounted rides to prevent impaired driving. From Phoenix to Buffalo and Southern California, these programs aim to keep communities safe on one of the year's most accident-prone nights.
Big Auto Accident Attorneys Howl Out 1,000 Free Uber Rides in Phoenix
Based in Phoenix, the Big Auto Accident Attorneys team is spearheading a generous giveaway of 1,000 Uber vouchers, each valued up to $20, to residents in the Metro Phoenix area. This initiative will run from 5 p.m. on July 4 until 5 a.m. July 5, providing a reliable alternative to driving impaired during Independence Day festivities.
Nic Edgson, the CEO and managing attorney, stressed the firm's commitment: “The Fourth of July is a celebration of freedom and family, but sadly it’s also one of the riskiest times on our roads. Impaired driving costs lives, and by covering safe rides home, we hope to save lives and keep our community safe.”
Why These Rides Matter
- From 2019 to 2023, 2,653 people died in motor vehicle crashes during the Fourth of July holiday.
- Nearly 40% of those incidents involved impaired drivers.
- These tragedies are completely preventable with responsible transportation options.
Eligible Metro Phoenix residents aged 21 and over can claim these vouchers by registering online. The offer is limited to the first 1,000 qualified individuals. Vouchers apply only for rides taken during the designated holiday hours.
