(Indianapolis, IN) - Some Indiana residents will receive a discount on their rides home on Valentine’s Day to reduce drinking and driving. 

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute is offering $10 off Uber and Lyft rides between 5 p.m. and 3 a.m.

"While romantic Valentine's Day dinners often include an adult beverage, it’s important to remember buzzed driving is still drunk driving," said Devon McDonald, Executive Director of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. 

"Enjoy your celebration safely by planning a designated driver or alternative transportation before you raise a glass," he said.

The offer is for people in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, with up to 1,000 ride discounts available.  

According to federal statistics, more than 13,000 people are killed in drunk-driving crashes annually in the United States. Fatalities in alcohol-impaired driving crashes also increased from 14% to 31% nationwide in recent years.
