Heck said already this year more people have died in crashes involving alcohol than all of last year.

“Do you want to end your holiday fun by going to jail in the backseat of a cruiser or having fun and being chauffeured home by an Uber? To me, it’s a pretty easy decision,” he said.

In the last 15 years, the program has given more than 10,000 rides.
