First launched in 2018, the campaign aims to keep drunk drivers off the road during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays by offering free or reduced-fare rides through the ride-share service LYFT.

The campaign starts at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 22 and runs through 12 p.m. Thursday Dec. 26, and again from 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31 to 12 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2024

There will be 600 one-time-use LYFT codes available for free or reduced-fare rides in Summit County:

  • Use code SUMMITXMAS24 for Christmas
  • Use Code SUMMITNYE25 for New Year’s

“The holiday season is one of joy and cheer, and for many, an alcoholic beverage or two. We want everyone to enjoy their season safely and to remember that drinking and driving don’t mix,” said Prosecutor Kolkovich. “My hope is that Summit County residents use Arrive Alive this holiday season to ensure that everyone stays safe.”
