Whether you are hosting a party or attending one this Cinco de Mayo, AAA wants everyone to get home safe and sound. That means choosing a Designated Driver, staying where you are celebrating, or arranging for another form of safe transportation.

"Impaired driving can ruin more than just a good celebration," said Amy Stracke, Executive Director of the ACG Traffic Safety Foundation. "Please plan ahead to make sure you and your loved ones make it home safely."

Whether you are a AAA member or not, you can call for a Tow to Go ride anytime this Thursday, May 5th through 6 a.m. on Friday, May 6th. AAA will then transport you and your vehicle home or somewhere safe within 10 miles.

"The Tow to Go program is an effective way to promote the use of Designated Drivers and help prevent impaired driving," said Katja Zastrow, Vice President 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."
