AAA and Anheuser-Busch are urging everyone to have a safe Thanksgiving by choosing a designated driver, staying where you are celebrating, using a cab or finding another form of sober transportation, such as Tow to Go.
AAA and Bud Light are teaming up once again this Thanksgiving week to offer Tow to Go, free rides and car tows home for those who have been out drinking.
"With so many people traveling this Thanksgiving, we all have to plan ahead," said Amy Stracke, managing director of traffic safety advocacy for AAA – The Auto Club Group and executive director of the ACG Traffic Safety Foundation. "Before you celebrate the holiday with alcohol, make sure you and your loved ones have a safe way to get home."
Whether you are an AAA member or not, you can call for a Tow to Go ride at (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246 any time Wednesday through Saturday night. AAA will then safely transport you and your vehicle home or somewhere safe within 10 miles.
Anheuser-Busch has been co-sponsors of the program since its inception in 1998 by providing funding for the service. The company has also worked with local bars and restaurants throughout Florida to help educate servers on the importance of not over-serving their customers.
"The Tow to Go program is an effective way to promote the use of designated drivers and help prevent impaired driving," said Bill Bradley, senior director of corporate social responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. "We are proud to partner with AAA and their roadside assistance drivers to help keep our roads safe."
Tow to Go Services:
- Confidential local ride within a 10-mile radius to a safe location
- Service is provided in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee
- Free and available to AAA members and non-members
- The AAA service vehicle transports the driver and their car
