The El Paso District Attorney's office lost out on a grant that would have offered free Uber rides to inebriated drivers because they didn't apply for it. Last year, El Paso got $75K to use to pay part, if not all, of the Uber fee for taking an impaired driver home safely instead of they themselves getting behind the wheel. That money ran out last September and the program won't be re - funded in 2026 because the El Paso DA's office didn't ask for it. - kfoxWhy Didn't The El Paso DA's Office Apply? Clearly, a program that helps keep drunk drivers off the road is badly needed in El Paso.
