LANSING, Mich. — (WSYM) - AAA is activating "Tow to Go" in preparation for the holiday weekend and to keep roads in Michigan safe.
Tow to Go is a program that will offer a safe ride for would-be-impaired drivers and their vehicles.
The program is being activated by the Auto Club Group in Michigan and various other states and can be reached by calling (855) 2-TOW-2-GO.
This Auto Club Group has provided this service for over 25 years. If someone calls Tow to Go, a tow truck will be dispatched to transport the vehicle and owner to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. This service is free to AAA members and non-members.
This service is active from July 3 at 6 p.m. to July 8 at 6 a.m.
“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. “Please plan ahead by asking a friend to be your designated driver or use a ride-sharing service. If those plans fall through, you can call Tow to Go and AAA will arrange for a safe ride for you.”
Tow to Go may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather. Appointments cannot be scheduled in advance to use this service.
