AAA Expands Tow to Go Program for July Fourth

AAA is reactivating its 'Tow to Go' program for the Fourth of July holiday weekend across several states, including Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee, Georgia, and Michigan, to help prevent impaired driving. The program offers free, confidential rides and tows within a 10-mile radius for both members and non-members as a last-resort safety measure. The service operates from the evening of July 4th through the morning of July 7th, with limited availability in rural areas or during severe weather, and cannot be scheduled in advance. Nearly one-third of U.S. traffic deaths in 2023 involved drunk drivers, totaling over 12,000 fatalities. Since its launch over 25 years ago, Tow to Go has removed nearly 30,000 impaired drivers from roads. AAA expects over 61 million Americans to travel this holiday and urges planning ahead, using Tow to Go only if other options fail.
