Need a ride home after too many brewskies at a Fourth of July barbecue?

Call an Uber and receive a credit of up to $10 off two trips. 

The “Take a Ride on Us” program is offered in Bernalillo, Sandoval and Santa Fe counties and runs from 10 a.m. July 4 through July 7. 

Bernalillo County contributes $80,000 to the annual program, according to a news release. The contribution comes from liquor excise taxes — which retailers and consumers pay when they buy alcohol and are distributed by the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department. 

The program was created by Cumulus Media Albuquerque in 2017 and is in partnership with Bernalillo County Department of Behavioral Health Services, Sandoval County DWI Prevention, Santa Fe County DWI Prevention, Glasheen Valles and Inderman Injury Lawyers, Sandia Resort & Casino and the New Mexico Department of Transportation. 

It has provided rides to more than 49,000 people in the Albuquerque area, according to the release.

To get $10 off your Uber trip add the code NMFREE24 under the section for vouchers.
