El Dorado County District Attorneys Office is partnering with Lyft to encourage local residents to use safe rides to reduce impaired driving during this St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

On March 16 and March 17, Lyft will provide discounted rides in the greater Sacramento area, including El Dorado and Placer counties. New users can enter the code 2018RIDESAFE in the app for $10 off the first two rides, and existing users may claim 10 percent off one ride with the code RIDESAFEELDORADO.

Impaired driving remains a serious problem throughout the state and in El Dorado County, which was fourth worst in total fatal and injury collisions in 2015, according to the DA. In California, there were 17,390 injury collisions involving alcohol in 2015. That same year, there were 122 alcohol-involved injuries or fatalities in El Dorado County.
