Welcome to the official website of The Pennsylvania Towing Association. Our interest is in fostering and promoting the interest and welfare of towing, storage, and recovery operators in Pennsylvania.
This Association was started in 1986 when a group of towers saw the need for a group of people who cared about and would address the needs, wants, and issues of towers in Pennsylvania. Just twenty people put in $1000 each to start the towing association for our state. A second group of people – our founding members – donated $100 each. Those early members, several of whom formed our early steering committees, made this association possible.

Member Outreach and Update – Summer 2025
Happy middle, almost end, of summer to you all. Hopefully you are all taking the necessary precautions in the hot weather we have been having. Remember to stay hydrated!
Your association has been very busy since our last communication. The biggest thing that has happened was the release of the latest FR 6-2 from the Pennsylvania State Police. It is effective as of June 16, 2025. If you have not received a copy of it, members can log on to the Pennsylvania Towing Association’s website and click on the members only section for the latest version. The biggest change for the towers is that it is no longer required to have a small tow truck in order to do light duty towing. You must have 2 pieces of equipment that can do light duty, but it can now be 2 rollbacks. All of your personnel who respond to PSP calls must be approved by PSP. So make sure you submit all employees, including 1099 people, to PSP when doing your updates to them. Also, if you have a website, you must post your rates on your website. Other changes made refer mainly to the PSP disciplinary procedures.
