What he found is that there’s a correlation between ride-sharing services coming on the market and a reduction in DUI arrests, particularly for the under-30 demographic that uses them the most:
After all ride sharing services were in effect (April 2013 through the end of 2013), the average number of DUIs per month dropped across the board by 11%, with those under 30 being mostly responsible for the drop:
- Overall: 1121.9 (11.1% decrease)
- Under 30: 450.9 (18.5% decrease)
- Over 30: 671 (5.3% decrease)
