The El Paso District Attorney’s Office is making sure you think before you drink—with a little help from Uber. Every Friday evening at 5 p.m., locals can snag a $20 Uber voucher as part of the ongoing “Pick Your Ride” campaign, designed to reduce drunk driving across the city.
The campaign kicked off thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Texas Department of Transportation awarded in October 2024. Since then, the DA’s Office has been distributing 100 to 150 vouchers every weekend, encouraging residents to opt for a safe ride home instead of risking it behind the wheel.
Here’s How You Can Claim Your Uber voucher:
A link to claim the vouchers is posted every Friday evening on the DA’s official website and social media pages. But don’t hit that “claim” button unless you actually plan on using it—because that’s where things get a little tricky. While all the vouchers are quickly claimed, less than 60% are used before they expire early Monday morning. That’s money left on the virtual table ya’ll!!

The DA’s Office is asking El Pasoans to be mindful and responsible: only claim a voucher if you're going to use it. That way, the campaign’s funding stretches further and helps protect more people in our community.
