Uber and Doyle’s Launch First-of-It’s Kind Happy “Safe” St. Patrick’s Day Ride Program

We are excited to announce an innovative business to business partnership with Doyle’s Public House to promote a safe and festive St. Patrick’s Day in Tacoma.

To celebrate the holiday, we’re providing Doyle’s visitors on St. Patrick’s Day with a free first ride up to $20 to get to or from festivities safely, without having to worry about the hassle of driving.

This is a first-of-its-kind event specific partnership in Washington State and we are thrilled to partner with Doyle’s owner Russ Heaton. “We are always looking for ways to enhance our St. Patrick’s Day experience for our customers and the larger community. Safety is a key ingredient to a good time,” said Heaton. Russ was speaking to another Lowell Elementary dad about Uber, Robert Thoms, who also happens to be a Tacoma City Councilman when the idea came up. Thoms recently helped craft City regulations allowing Uber to provide services in Tacoma.

“Having worked so closely with Uber during the creation of rules governing ridesharing, I knew they were committed to providing the best possible services to our community. Russ and I discussed how Doyle’s and Uber could partner to provide a creative way to promote safety and deter driving after enjoying St. Patrick’s Day. We engaged Uber and a rare win-win-win was born. A win for a local business, a win for educating consumers about new ride share opportunities and a win for a safer holiday experience in our community,” said Councilman Thoms.

“This is just the type of creative integration Uber seeks to provide cities where we operate. We are thrilled to partner with Tacoma businesses and help connect even more residents to safe, reliable rides during this festive holiday.” Uber General Manager for Washington, Brooke Steger

“Uber is expanding much needed transportation options in Tacoma providing real time consumer choice and this high tech integration with Doyle’s – a local business is exciting for Tacoma. I hope this is just the first such business to business opportunities.” – Councilman Thoms
