Here’s what’s happening this week in the Chattanooga area.

Tow To Go

AAA auto club has activated Tow To Go in Tennessee, Georgia and select other states. The program is aimed at helping stranded drivers and keeping impaired drivers off the road over the holiday season. “If you’re faced with the decision of driving impaired, put down those keys and pick up the phone to call Tow To Go,” said spokeswoman Megan Cooper. “AAA will then send a truck to take you and your vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius.” The service comes with a caveat: Because AAA service technicians expect to respond to calls from more than 860,000 drivers with car trouble during the holidays, Tow To Go should be treated as a last resort, with a designated driver or ride-sharing service lined up before you party. Tow To Go is free to AAA members and nonmembers. It was activated Christmas Eve and will continue through 6 a.m. Jan. 2. For service, call 855-2-TOW-2-GO (855-286-9246).
