Sabbeth Law, a personal injury law firm based in Burlington, Vermont, is launching its Sober Holiday Rides program for St. Patrick's Day on March 17, 2026, to encourage safe transportation choices and reduce impaired driving incidents. The initiative offers reimbursement of up to $50, including a 10% tip, for a one-way ride home via taxi or rideshare for individuals celebrating the holiday in Vermont or New Hampshire.
St. Patrick's Day is historically one of the most dangerous holidays for impaired driving nationwide, according to the firm. Attorney Michael J. Sabbeth emphasized the importance of proactive safety measures: "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 program covers rides taken on March 17, with receipts and valid identification required for reimbursement. Participants must be 21 or older, and the ride must occur within Vermont or New Hampshire. Reimbursement requests can be submitted from March 17 through March 24. Full program details and submission instructions are available at Sabbeth Law's Sober Holiday Rides page.
This initiative is part of Sabbeth Law's broader commitment to injury prevention and community safety. The firm offers the Sober Holiday Rides program during select high-risk holidays throughout the year to help reduce impaired driving incidents across the region. As a law firm serving Vermont and New Hampshire, Sabbeth Law has witnessed the devastating consequences of preventable drunk driving crashes.
Attorney Michael J. Sabbeth, Esquire, leads the firm, which focuses on serious injury cases including car accidents, trucking accidents, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. Beyond legal advocacy, the firm is dedicated to community safety initiatives and injury prevention efforts. The Sober Holiday Rides program exemplifies this commitment by providing a practical solution to a persistent public safety issue.
Community members are encouraged to plan ahead, save the program link before going out, and share it with friends. "Getting home safely should never be an afterthought," Sabbeth added.
