Sabbeth Law, a personal injury law firm in Burlington, Vermont, is launching its Sober Holiday Rides program for St. Patrick's Day on March 17, 2026. The initiative offers reimbursement of up to $50, including a 10% tip, for a one-way taxi or rideshare ride home within Vermont or New Hampshire. The program is designed to prevent impaired driving on a holiday known for elevated risks of alcohol-related crashes.
According to the firm, St. Patrick's Day is historically one of the most dangerous holidays for impaired driving nationwide. Michael J. Sabbeth, Esquire, stated, "We want people to celebrate responsibly and get home safely. If covering the cost of a ride removes one barrier to making a safe decision, it's worth it." Participants must be 21 or older, submit a receipt and valid identification within seven days, and ensure the ride occurs within Vermont or New Hampshire. The submission window runs from March 17 to March 24.
Full program details and submission instructions are available at Sabbeth Law's Sober Holiday Rides page. The program is part of Sabbeth Law's broader commitment to community safety and injury prevention, offered during select high-risk holidays throughout the year. "Getting home safely should never be an afterthought," Attorney Sabbeth added.
Sabbeth Law specializes in personal injury cases, including car accidents, trucking accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. The firm serves clients across Vermont and New Hampshire, emphasizing legal advocacy alongside community safety initiatives. By providing free ride reimbursements, the firm aims to reduce impaired driving incidents and highlight the preventable consequences of drunk driving crashes.
