AAA will activate its Tow to Go program on Friday in Florida, Georgia and other select states to help keep impaired drivers off the road during the year-end holidays.

“If you’re faced with the decision of driving impaired, put down those keys and pick up the phone to call Tow to Go,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins. “We’ll dispatch a truck to take you and your vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius.”

AAA service technicians expect to rescue more than 937,000 drivers with car trouble during the upcoming holidays, so AAA asks that you treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Instead, plan ahead and identify a designated driver or ride-sharing service before you party.

Tow to Go is active from 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 22 to 6 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 2.

Since its inception 25 years ago, Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road. The free service dispatches a tow truck to transport the impaired person and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius
