Berg Injury Lawyers will provide the Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program during St. Patrick's Day for those who have been drinking or who don't feel they have a safe way to get home.

"During the past five years, the Safe and Sober program has provided more than 2,000 rides home," said William Berg, founder. "We're proud to serve our community in this capacity and are dedicated to preventing drunk driving."

The Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program will be available from 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, through 3 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18. To request a free cab ride home within Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley city limits, call Veterans Cab at (800) 281-4488.

Cab rides are made available to area residents who otherwise might attempt to drive home after drinking. Rides are provided to an individual's residence — not to other drinking locations. Due to the high number of ride requests on St. Patrick's Day, rides cannot be guaranteed for everyone who calls; however, every attempt will be made to accommodate everyone who requests a ride home.
