Sabbeth Law, a personal injury law firm based in Burlington, Vermont, has launched its Sober Holiday Rides program for St. Patrick's Day, offering free ride reimbursement to encourage safe transportation after celebrations. The initiative, which runs on March 17, 2026, aims to reduce impaired driving on one of the most dangerous holidays for alcohol-related crashes nationwide.
Participants who are 21 or older can receive reimbursement of up to $50, including a 10% tip, for a one-way taxi or rideshare trip home within Vermont or New Hampshire. To qualify, riders must submit a receipt and valid identification within seven days of the ride, from March 17 to March 24. The program is limited to one-way rides only and is not available for trips outside the two states.
“We want people to celebrate responsibly and get home safely,” said Michael J. Sabbeth, Esquire, founder of Sabbeth Law. “If covering the cost of a ride removes one barrier to making a safe decision, it’s worth it.” Details and submission instructions are available at sabbethlaw.com/about/community/sober-holiday-rides/.
St. Patrick's Day has historically seen a high number of impaired driving fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 40% of traffic deaths on the holiday involve drunk drivers. Sabbeth Law, which represents individuals in serious injury cases such as car accidents and wrongful death, has witnessed the consequences of preventable crashes firsthand. The firm’s Sober Holiday Rides program is part of a broader commitment to injury prevention and community safety, offered during select high-risk holidays throughout the year.
Community members are encouraged to plan ahead by saving the program link before going out and sharing it with friends. “Getting home safely should never be an afterthought,” Attorney Sabbeth added. The program underscores the firm's dedication to reducing impaired driving incidents across Vermont and New Hampshire, complementing its legal advocacy for accident victims.
