Sabbeth Law, a personal injury law firm based in Burlington, Vermont, has announced 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 and New Hampshire. Participants must be 21 or older, submit a receipt and valid identification within seven days, and the ride must occur on March 17. The program aims to reduce impaired driving on a holiday historically associated with high rates of drunk driving crashes nationwide.
According to the firm, St. Patrick's Day is one of the most dangerous holidays for impaired driving. Attorney Michael J. Sabbeth 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." The firm has witnessed the consequences of preventable drunk driving crashes and seeks to promote safer roads through this initiative.

Community members are encouraged to plan ahead, save the link, and share it with friends. The Sober Holiday Rides program is part of Sabbeth Law's broader commitment to injury prevention and community safety, offered during select high-risk holidays throughout the year.
This initiative underscores the importance of proactive measures to prevent impaired driving. By removing the financial barrier to a safe ride home, the program may encourage more individuals to make responsible choices. The firm's focus on community safety aligns with its legal work in serious injury cases, including car and trucking accidents.
