Program Background
Launched in the city of Alameda on St. Patrick's Day 2004 and expanded to include Oakland over Memorial Day weekend and subsequent holidays, Berg Injury Lawyers Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program seeks to raise community awareness of the dangers of drunk driving and to encourage individuals to make responsible choices by providing a safe transportation alternative on many of the traditionally high alcohol consumption holidays. Cab rides are made available within the cities of Alameda and Oakland to area residents who otherwise might attempt to drive home after drinking. Rides are provided to an individual's residence, not other drinking locations. On New Year's weekend 2004/05 in addition to Alameda and Oakland, the program was offered for the first time in Berkeley.
