Under the plan, drivers who get a taxi voucher leave their keys with bar staff and pick them up from the Weyburn police station the next day.
Their names will also be put in a draw for a shot at winning a prize for participating in the initiative.
Police Chief Marlo Pritchard says the project is getting good support.
