AAA’s Tow to Go Program Partners with Tow Companies
As St. Patrick’s Day festivities gear up, AAA is once again calling on tow companies and towers to play a crucial role in keeping impaired drivers off the road. The Tow to Go program, now in its 25th year, offers a valuable partnership by dispatching tow trucks to transport impaired drivers and their vehicles to safe locations, preventing potential accidents and fatalities over the holiday weekend.
Running from 6 p.m. Friday, March 14 through 6 a.m. Tuesday, March 18, Tow to Go offers participating tow companies a chance to be part of a life-saving initiative. Since its inception, the program has successfully removed nearly 30,000 impaired drivers from the road, and this year, AAA is once again urging local tow operators to join the effort.
“The Tow to Go program has been instrumental in reducing impaired driving incidents and making roads safer for everyone,” said Nick Jarmusz, director of public affairs for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “We rely on our partners in the towing industry to help us deliver this vital service during one of the deadliest weekends for impaired driving. By working together, we can ensure that those celebrating St. Patrick’s Day can do so responsibly and safely.”
While the service is free for individuals, AAA emphasizes that Tow to Go should be considered a last resort for those who do not have alternative plans for a safe ride. Tow companies that partner with AAA can help ensure that those in need of a tow get home safely, while also reducing the potential for accidents on the road.
