AAA to offer free ‘Tow to Go’ service to discourage impaired driving during Labor Day weekend

The American Automobile Association (AAA) announced it will be offering its “Tow to Go” program during the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

AAA said the service will operate from 6 p.m. on Friday through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, providing free, confidential rides for impaired drivers and their vehicles within a 10-mile radius.

Florida is among the states offering this free service.

“Labor Day is meant for celebration, not tragedy,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Impaired driving accounts for one-third of all traffic deaths year-round. Simple actions like planning a designated driver or using programs like ‘Tow to Go’ can save lives.”
