This Labor Day weekend, AAA has again launched its ‘Tow-2-Go’ program in an effort to keep impaired drivers off the road.
Anyone planning on going out is advised to designate a sober driver or plan another safe ride home, whether from a taxi or a ride-share service.

As a last resort, drivers can utilize the ‘Tow to Go’ service, regardless of whether they are a AAA member or not.
From 6 pm on Friday until 6 am on Tuesday, September 2, AAA will provide free, confidential rides for impaired drivers. AAA will take its riders and their vehicles to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. Rides cannot be scheduled in advance.
“Labor Day should be a celebration, not a tragedy,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Impaired driving causes nearly one-third of traffic deaths. Choosing a designated driver or using ‘Tow to Go’ can save lives. AAA is proud to offer this service to help families stay safe.”
