BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – With over 44 million Americans traveling  50 miles or more, this Independence Day holiday will be the most traveled ever.

That could also make it the most dangerous ever when that increased traffic is combined with holiday related impaired driving. To help reduce needless tragedies this weekend through July 8, AAA urge everyone to plan ahead if they are out celebrating.

This means choosing a designated driver, calling a cab, staying where you are celebrating or finding another safe way home.

Tow to Go will operate from 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 3 through 6 a.m. on Monday, July 8.

Tow To Go Guidelines:

  • Confidential local ride to a safe location within 10 miles

Since its inception in 1998, Tow-To-Go has safely removed more than 24,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest. It is designed to be a safety net for motorists who did not plan ahead when drinking away from home on celebratory holidays.

It is offered based on the availability of AAA drivers and tow trucks during times of high call volume.

The Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation provides Tow-To-Go to help keep all motorists safe from the dangers of impaired driving. Anheuser-Busch Wholesalers have been cosponsors of the program since its inception in 1998.

Not only has the company provided funding for the service, it has also worked with local bars and restaurants to help educate servers on the importance of not over-serving their customers.
