The AAA is activating the Tow to Go program in Michigan over the 4th of July holiday.
The AAA’s Tow to Go program is a free service meant to keep impaired drivers off the road.
The program sends a tow truck to transport an impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius for free.
“By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “However, we remind people to treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Instead, make advanced plans for a safe ride home.”
The Tow to Go program is active from 6 p.m. Friday, June 30, until 6 a.m. Wednesday, July 5. These free, confidential, rides are available to AAA members and non-members.
The AAA offers Tow to Go in Michigan and several other states. Those states include FL, GA, IA, MI, ND, NE, TN, WI, CO (Denver), NC (Charlotte), IN (Fort Wayne/South Bend).
You can call the Tow to Go program at 855-286-9246. The program will take one person and their vehicle to a safe location with a 10-mile radius. Rides cannot be scheduled in advance.
The Tow to Go program is meant to be a safety net for people that did not plan ahead. In some cases, the AAA may need to make other arrangements to get an impaired person a safe ride home.
The Tow to Go program may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions.
