Arrive Safe Program Back for St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations

Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. is pleased to announce that with support from AAA Miami Valley and Heidelberg Distributing Company, ArriveSafe will be offering free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents this St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

Since Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. started ArriveSafe in December 2007, ArriveSafe has provided over 6,400 free cabs rides for Montgomery County residents.

Statewide in there are approximately 400 alcohol-related traffic crash fatalities every year. All of these deaths were completely avoidable – if only a driver had not made the decision to drive while impaired.

ArriveSafe will be offering free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents from 6:00 p.m. Friday, March 16, 2018 through 6:00 a.m. Sunday, March 18, 2018.

Prosecutor Heck added, “This St. Patrick’s Day weekend, don’t rely on the “Luck O’ the Irish” to get home safely. It’s simple to make a responsible choice – have a designated, sober driver or call ArriveSafe at 449-9999 and request a free ride home. We will pay the cab fare up to $50. Remember, the life you save may be your own.”
