Founded in 1982, the Washington Regional Alcohol Program is an award-winning public-private coalition formed to fight drunk driving, drugged driving and underage drinking in the Washington-metropolitan area. Through public education, innovative health education programs and advocacy, WRAP is credited with keeping the metro-Washington area's alcohol-related traffic deaths consistently lower than the national average. Area residents, however, may best know WRAP via the organization's popular free cab ride service for would-be drunk drivers, SoberRide.

WRAP creatively promotes safe and sober driving during high-risk times like St. Patrick's Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and the winter holidays. Since 1993 alone, WRAP has provided over 30,643 free cab rides home to would-be impaired drivers. WRAP also works hard to keep the prom-graduation season safe. Its on-going efforts to ensure a safe season for teens have been featured on the "ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings" and on the front page of The Washington Post.

WRAP has received many local and regional honors including the 2000 Virginia Governor's Award for Transportation Safety in Impaired Driving Prevention as well as being a finalist in the 2000 NCADD Sixteenth Annual Awards Program and the 1998 KPMG Peat Marwick Community Prevention Partnership Award presented by Leadership Washington. Additionally, WRAP received the 1997 Virginia Governor's Award for Transportation Safety in Impaired Driving Prevention. WRAP's behind-the-scenes efforts received praise as one of five finalists in the 1997 Washington Council of Agencies Excellence in Non-Profit Management Award. WRAP also received the 1996 National Commission Against Drunk Driving's Prevention & Education Award and the 1996 Allstate Safety Leadership Award.
