DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - The free cab service for Montgomery County residents known as ArriveSafe kicked off Friday night and runs through New Year's day to help keep drunk drivers off the road during the holiday weekend.

ArriveSafe is a collaboration among the Montgomery County Prosecutor's office, AAA Miami Valley and Heidelberg Distributing Company.

Since Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. started ArriveSafe in December 2007, ArriveSafe has provided over 2,700 free cabs rides for Montgomery County residents. This year, Montgomery County has had over 140 alcohol related traffic crashes, 11 of those involved fatalities.

ArriveSafe runs December 28-31, from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. daily. 

"Have a designated, sober driver or call ArriveSafe at 449-9999 and request a free ride home. We will pay the cab fare up to $50," said Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr.
