News Release

CDOT ofrece créditos para usar en Uber, consejos para mantenerse seguro en estas festividades del Mes del Orgullo en español.

Statewide - In partnership with AAA Colorado and the Colorado State Patrol, the Colorado Department of Transportation is offering discounted Uber rides to help prevent impaired driving during statewide Pride celebrations.

From June 26 to 29, Coloradans can use the Uber code RVFCNRYMRYQ or visit bit.ly/CDOTPRIDE for a $10 ride credit. The code must be added to a user's Uber wallet prior to requesting a ride.

Impaired driving remains a leading factor in Colorado traffic crashes, resulting in more than 200 fatalities each year. If you plan to consume alcohol during a Pride event, put safety first and avoid a DUI by following these tips:

• Plan a sober ride home before heading out, such as a rideshare service, designated driver or public transportation.
• If you have a designated driver, ensure they are truly sober before entering their vehicle.
• If you're not drinking, offer a sober ride to friends or family members.
• If you feel different, you drive different. Always err on the side of caution and find a sober ride home.

The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day - known as the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer - historically sees a spike in roadway crashes and fatalities across the state each year. In 2025, 81 fatalities involving an impaired driver occurred during this time frame - more than one-third of the year's total impaired driving-related deaths (237).
