Law Firm Launches Free Ride Program for Independence Day Safety

To help prevent crashes over the Independence Day holiday, Walter Clark Legal Group will cover the cost of sponsored cab and rideshare trips in the Coachella Valley late Friday and early Saturday. The program will run from 10 p.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Saturday. It reimburses up to $50 for a one-way ride home taken via sponsored taxi, Uber or Lyft in the Coachella Valley, El Centro, Victorville, Banning, Beaumont, Yucca Valley and Morongo Basin, according to the law firm. Officials said the program will be limited to one-way rides taken from
a residence or hotel within the designated cities, and it will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis while funding lasts. Participants must be 21 or older, have a valid driver's license and
register at walterclark.com/holiday.
