AKRON, Ohio – Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh’s “Arrive Alive” program will once again offer free rides home to those who have had too much to drink during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the office announced.

The program is open to Summit County residents and is offered from 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 24 through 6 a.m. Friday, Dec. 27 and again from 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 31 through 6 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 2, according to a news release.

To receive a free ride home, residents can call City Yellow Cab at 330-253-3141 (the program covers fares up to $65). The code for a free Lyft ride home, valued up to $20, is SCPOXMAS19 for the Christmas holiday. The New Year’s Lyft code will be shared on the Summit County Prosecutor’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages on Dec. 31.

“Every year, lives are shattered because of drunk and impaired drivers. We must do more to keep our streets safe. ‘Arrive Alive’ does just that,” said Walsh in a news release. “If you decide to celebrate with alcohol, please have a designated driver, or use our Arrive Alive program. The life you save may be your own.”

Bevan Walsh launched the program for the July 4, 2018 holiday weekend. Since then, the program has given free rides to more than 1,500 residents.

The program is sponsored by Roetzel, Kisling Nestico & Redick, Burdon-Merlitti, Bevan and Associates, City Yellow Cab and Lyft.
