“By offering Tow to Go, AAA helps ensure there’s no excuse for impaired driving,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Plan ahead, but if your plans change, we’re here as a last resort to help you get home safely.”

• Available to everyone—AAA members and non-members

Why It Matters:
