R.I.D. Tampa Bay

Established in 1978 in Schenectady, New York, RID is the oldest national anti-DUI citizen activist organization in the U.S. Our mission is to save the lives and prevent injuries by deterring alcohol abuse, in general, and impaired driving and youthful binge drinking in particular.

RID is a grass roots, volunteer organization. Because our six-room head-quarters are donated and most of our administrative labor is volunteer, we spend less than fifteen percent of our income on administration and fund raising. Eighty-five percent goes into program.

RID volunteers work to deter impaired driving, to help its victims seek justice, restitution, and peace of mind when facing the maze of the criminal justice system, to close loopholes in the laws, and to educate the public about the scope and depth of impaired driving tragedies and what to do about it.
