To save lives and promote safe driving this New Year's Eve, AAA-Alabama and wrecker services across the state will again offer Tow-for-Life. This public service program provides free towing services to keep impaired drivers off the road. This is the 24th year for the program, and the service is provided to AAA members and non-members alike. AAA does not condone drinking and driving and encourages all motorists to act responsibly to keep drunk drivers off the road throughout the holidays.

Alabama Department of Homeland Security encourages Alabama citizens to travel safely and efficiently this time of year. With the hectic pace of holiday travel it is easy to forget simple tips that will make your airport and highway travel experience easier.

“Every year air travelers with wrapped gifts and homemade foods increase wait times at airport checkpoints,” said Alabama Homeland Security Director Art Faulkner. “This becomes frustrating for all travelers because it slows down the security process.”
