ORANGE COUNTY, CA – In a direct effort to curb a historically dangerous weekend on Southern California roadways, The Accident Network Law Group has announced its inaugural July 4th Safe Ride Home Program. Spearheaded by founding attorney Damoun Yazdi, the firm will provide free rideshare rides home to residents across Orange County on Independence Day.

The community initiative will provide free, dedicated Lyft credits to individuals celebrating Independence Day across Orange County. The program officially activates on Friday, July 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM and runs through Sunday, July 5, at 3:00 AM, covering the region’s highest-risk travel hours.

However, the campaign carries a heavy dual purpose this year. Attorney Yazdi is utilizing the safety launch to urge California voters to look past the deceptive branding of Initiative 25-0022, a November 2026 ballot measure heavily bankrolled by Uber.

“As personal injury lawyers, our job is to protect victims of vehicular negligence and keep our roads safe,” said attorney Damoun Yazdi. “The Fourth of July is one of the deadliest holidays on California roads, which is why we are funding real rides to prevent DUIs. But we refuse to run this program through Uber. While we are investing directly in our neighbors’ safety, Uber is spending over $75 million on a ballot initiative designed to strip away the rights of the very people they injure on those same roads.”

A Data-Driven Response to Local High-Risk Zones

The decision to focus resources heavily on specific coastal and urban corridors comes in response to local traffic safety data. According to state-level statistics monitored by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), law enforcement routinely executes between 1,200 and 1,400 DUI arrests statewide during the July 4th enforcement window alone. Furthermore, localized data consistently highlights areas like Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Newport Beach as high-density zones for alcohol-related traffic incidents.

By restricting rides exclusively to peak nighttime hours within Orange County borders, the firm aims to put safety resources precisely where the risk is concentrated.

Program Mechanics & How to Claim a Ride

The program is built to navigate the practical realities of holiday surge pricing, ensuring that the allocated funding serves the maximum number of community members possible.

• The Reward: A rideshare credit valued up to $30 per ride for a safe trip home.
• Eligibility: Pickups must originate within Orange County zip codes.
• The Window: Valid only from 6:00 PM on July 3rd to 3:00 AM on July 5th.
• How to Access: On the night of July 3rd or 4th, community members can visit https://www.lyft.com/lp/250YEARS. The code can also be entered directly into the rider’s Lyft app. “250YEARS”

The firm emphasizes that this is a strict community sponsorship program. In compliance with California state legal standards, rider contact information collected during the code distribution will remain entirely confidential and will never be utilized for legal solicitation or marketing purposes.

“This is an investment in our neighbors,” said attorney Yazdi. “If we can keep even one impaired driver off the Pacific Coast Highway or the 55 freeway this holiday, this entire initiative is a resounding success.”

Quantities of codes are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Celebrants are strongly encouraged to download the Lyft app and secure their safe ride option before heading out to enjoy the fireworks.
