🎲 Heading to EDC this weekend? Don’t gamble with your safety.

Nevada transportation agencies are warning attendees about illegal cash rides and off-app transportation offers during the event.

With surge pricing and heavy demand, some drivers may offer rides for cash outside licensed rideshare apps or permitted transportation services. Those rides may lack required insurance, driver vetting, vehicle inspections, and other safety protections.

Is your safety worth a few dollars?

If you’re getting a ride this weekend:
✔ Use licensed transportation providers or rideshare apps
✔ Verify the vehicle and driver info in the app
❌ Avoid cash rides solicited at hotels, casinos, the airport, or event areas
