WRAP’s 2018 July 4th SoberRide campaign is scheduled to run from 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, July 4th (Independence Day) until 4:00 a.m. Thursday, July 5th, 2018.

If your organization needs an alcohol awareness presentation, WRAP’s Safe And Vital Employees (SAVE) program is available free of cost to you. This 45-minute, customized presentation will inform employees and/or military personnel about the physical, economic and legal consequences of impaired driving.

We will be passing the cards and posters out to bars and retaurants next week. If you need extra cards or posters, contact Brian Barrie (202) 536-9515.

goDCgo: "Biking is fun," they say!


from goDCgo:

On May 18, 2018, over 17,000 commuters got on two wheels in the rain to celebrate the 18th annual Bike to Work Day. Talk about commitment! There were close to 100 pit stops throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia for bicyclists to stop by and get energized on their way to work. Many of the pit-stops got creative this year offering yoga, massages, bike maintenance, and many other great perks for participants. goDCgo hosted the Anacostia pit stop and our friends pictured above were a crew of many cyclists that stopped by for fun prizes, bike maintenance from Anacostia Bike Company, and light refreshments. For this year's pit stop raffle, our lucky winner received an annual Capital Bikeshare membership.

goDCgo was also excited to unveil our 2018 Bike Maps just in time for Bike to Work Day. Cyclists were excited to see the new maps. These fun easy-to-read maps can give both new and experienced riders the kickstart they need to experience DC by bike. If you didn't get a chance to grab a bike map, request yours today !

Did you know that Washington, DC is one of the bike-friendliest places in the nation? We have earned this title rightfully so, with all the new developments and resources that make travel by bike easy for residents and visitors. To learn more about the Rise of Biking in DC, click the link below.
