Arrive Safe

Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. is pleased to announce that with support from AAA Miami Valley and Heidelberg Distributing Company, ArriveSafe will be offering free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents this St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

Since Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. started ArriveSafe in December 2007, ArriveSafe has provided over 6,400 free cabs rides for Montgomery County residents.

Statewide in there are approximately 400 alcohol-related traffic crash fatalities every year. All of these deaths were completely avoidable – if only a driver had not made the decision to drive while impaired.

ArriveSafe will be offering free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents from 6:00 p.m. Friday, March 16, 2018 through 6:00 a.m. Sunday, March 18, 2018.

Prosecutor Heck added, “This St. Patrick’s Day weekend, don’t rely on the “Luck O’ the Irish” to get home safely. It’s simple to make a responsible choice – have a designated, sober driver or call ArriveSafe at 449-9999 and request a free ride home. We will pay the cab fare up to $50. Remember, the life you save may be your own.”

Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. is pleased to announce that with continued support from Heidelberg Distributing Company and AAA Miami Valley, the ArriveSafe program will be providing free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents over the upcoming Christmas and New Years holiday weekends.

This year in Montgomery County, there have been just nine alcohol-related fatal traffic crashes, a significant reduction from 2016, when there were 20.

Prosecutor Heck added, “Nine alcohol-related traffic fatalities is still too many, especially since each and every one of those fatalities were completely avoidable – if only the driver has made the smart decision and chose to get home safely, by having a designated driver, using a taxi, or a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft.”

ArriveSafe will be offering free cab rides home for Montgomery County residents from 6:00 p.m. Friday, December 26, 2017 through 6:00 a.m. Tuesday, December 26, 2017, and from 6:00 p.m. Friday, December 29, 2017 through 6:00 a.m. Tuesday, January 2, 2018.

Prosecutor Heck added, “You decide – do you want to go home safely in the back of a cab for free, or go to jail, handcuffed in the back of a police cruiser, which may cost you thousands of dollars? A simple decision.”
