The company partnered with MADD to prevent drunk driving on one of the biggest drinking nights of the year.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Uber, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and New York State have partnered together to offer free rides on Thanksgiving Eve. 

"With millions of people expected to hit the road this holiday season, it's imperative that New Yorkers are making safe, responsible choices when celebrating with family and friends," said Senator Tim Kennedy (D) in a statement. "Through this initiative, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Uber are proactively attempting to curb impaired driving by incentivizing alternative options, and underscoring the importance of planning ahead."  

Thanksgiving Eve, also known as Blackout Wednesday, is one of the biggest drinking nights of the year annually. All New York residents outside of New York City can enter the promo code SAFERIDENY19 for a free ride up to $10 between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. Thanksgiving morning.
