Thanks! This article is very informative. DWIs are up thanks to Austin putting more stringencies on drivers than where I live, NYC, which is far more dangerous.

Uber/Lyft claimed that since their services began, DWIs in Austin had dropped by 23%. They have since risen about 7%.

Seems like Mothers Against Drunk Driving needs to get involved with Austin politics so that Uber and Lyft can again operate there. How many deaths will have to happen before Austin decides to not be more stringent than NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago, ....
