LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– AAA announced its activation of the “Tow to Go” program for Labor Day weekend. The ‘Tow to Go’ service began at 6 p.m. on August 29 and will run until Tuesday, September 2.
The “Tow to Go” program provides free, confidential rides for impaired drivers and their vehicles within a 10-mile radius.
“Labor Day is meant for celebration, not tragedy,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group, in a news release sent to 6 News. “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. At AAA, we are committed to offering this critical safety lifeline to protect families and prevent needless loss during the holiday.”
How the program works:
- Availability: 6 p.m. Friday, August 29, 2025, to 6 a.m. Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
- Open to both AAA members and non-members.
- The service cannot be scheduled in advance and is designed for last-minute situations. AAA stresses that “Tow to Go” should only be used as a last resort when no other safe transportation options are available.
- Call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
