Students and Ames residents hoping for a free ride home following New Year’s Eve festivities should make alternative plans as services from AAA and CyRide will be unavailable.

In a news release AAA said its Tipsy Tow program is not available in all areas and no clubs in Iowa will be offering the program this year.

“While not a nationwide program, a number of AAA clubs offer Tow-to-Go or Tipsy Tow service during certain holidays for members and nonmembers,” AAA said in the release. “This service is not available everywhere. AAA strongly encourages family and friends to pick a designated driver before they head out on New Year’s Eve.”

CyRide’s Moonlight Express service does not operate during Iowa State’s breaks and will not resume operation until Friday, Jan. 13.
