New Year’s Eve Uber Discounts Encourage Safe Celebrations in New Mexico
Ride with Responsibility: The ‘Take a Ride on Us’ Initiative
As New Year’s celebrations approach, residents of Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Santa Fe counties in New Mexico can take advantage of the ‘Take a Ride on Us’ program. This initiative, running from December 29, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. until January 3, 2026, at midnight, offers $10 off on two Uber rides. To participate, users simply need to enter the voucher code NMNYE25 in the Uber app’s voucher section.
How to Redeem Your Uber Discount
Those interested in utilizing the discount should act quickly, as only 2,500 rides are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This promotion applies solely to Uber rides, excluding services like Uber Eats, and tips are not covered by the discount. Residents can find more information on how to use the voucher at Uber’s promotional page.
Community Collaboration for Safer Celebrations
This program is a collaborative effort funded by several organizations, including Cumulus Media Albuquerque, the Bernalillo County Department of Behavioral Health Services, and the New Mexico Department of Transportation. These partnerships aim to promote safe drinking practices during a time known for heightened DWI risks. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, New Year’s Eve sees a significant spike in impaired driving incidents.
National Trends in Safe Ride Programs
New Mexico’s initiative aligns with similar programs across the country, such as Portland’s Safe Ride Home, which offers discounts on rides during the New Year’s period. These programs highlight a growing recognition of the importance of providing safe transportation options during high-risk holiday events.
Staying Safe This New Year’s Eve
As the holiday festivities begin, it is crucial for residents and visitors alike to prioritize safety. Utilizing programs like ‘Take a Ride on Us’ not only promotes responsible drinking but also fosters a community-wide effort to reduce alcohol-related accidents.
