Driving under the influence has devastating consequences, claiming countless lives every year. In Texas, nearly 25% of all traffic fatalities involve alcohol-impaired drivers, with San Antonio ranking among the top cities for these incidents. To help make a difference, Mission Injury Law has launched the complimentary Sober Ride Program to prevent drunk driving at major San Antonio events.
This month, attendees of two major December events: the Valero Alamo Bowl and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s holiday concert can secure complimentary Uber rides from these events. Our goal is to ensure everyone gets home safely and responsibly.

The Impact of Drunk Driving in Texas
Drunk driving is not just a bad decision—it’s a public health crisis. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
• Nearly 11,000 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes in the U.S. in 2022, accounting for nearly 30% of all traffic fatalities.
• In Texas, alcohol-related crashes are among the highest in the nation, with San Antonio being a significant contributor to these statistics.
These numbers highlight the need for greater awareness and action. By promoting sober driving and providing free ride options, Mission Injury Law aims to reduce these alarming statistics and make San Antonio roads safer for everyone.
