If you plan to go out on New Year's Eve, don't drink and drive. Not only could you hurt yourself, but also someone else.

DUI checkpoints will be set up across the Valley as local law enforcement continues taking part in the Avoid the 21 DUI crackdown campaign.

There have been 104 people arrested for DUI in the area since December 16th, which is up from 93 arrests last year.

If you don’t have a designated driver, call a cab or a service like Tipsy Tow offered by AAA.

The Tipsy Tow program is open to everyone. You do not need to be an AAA Member to take advantage of this service to the community.

During the period Tipsy Tow is available, drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders, and restaurant managers can call 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow home of up to ten miles. Just tell the AAA operator, "I need a Tipsy Tow," and a truck will be on its way.

The service will provide a one-way ride for the driver and vehicle to the driver's home. If there are additional passengers who need a ride, they will be taken to the driver's home as long is there is sufficient room for them to be transported safely in the tow truck. You cannot make a reservation.

New Year’s Eve: 6:00 p.m. Saturday, December 31st – 6:00 a.m. Sunday, January 1st.
