People celebrating Independence Day can take a reimbursed cab or Lyft ride throughout parts of the Coachella Valley thanks to the Walter Clark Legal Group, which is trying to prevent crashes by impaired drivers.
The firm’s Safe Ride Home Program will run from 10 p.m. July 4 through 3 a.m. the following day in the areas of Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Indio and Coachella.
“I have and just about everybody I know has at some time driven when they shouldn’t, and the reason that happens is that after you have a drink, you think you’re fine. That’s the effect of impairment,” Walter Clark, founder of the law firm, said in a statement.
Participants must be 21 years or older and must have a valid driver’s license. The offer includes a limit of one reimbursement per household per day, valid for a maximum fare of $50. The reimbursement coupon will be valid for a single one-way ride from a bar, restaurant or residence to a safe destination.

I’d like to thank you for doing this. Absolutely amazing! I lost my grandmother to a drunk driver and you are most likely saving many lives by doing this. Thank you so much!!
