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 – Winter/Spring 2025
This news update is way overdue. There has been a lot happening behind the scenes, and while we have been posting on Facebook, we can do more details in a letter. So here is what has been happening since January 1st.
Our lobbying firm, SGA, is at work for us in Harrisburg. We had a strategic meeting with them and Rep. John Lawrence to discuss what the priorities are for this legislative session. First and foremost is getting paid under liability coverage. The second is being able legally tow oversized/overweight vehicles.
Thanks to member Pablo Matos of Matos Towing, Wayne McDade and Gwen Null were able to sit down with Pablo and his state representative Manny Guzman. Rep. Guzman is on the Appropriations and Transportation Committees. We were able to express concerns, frustrations, and challenges that we as an industry face. He took our concerns and questioned the PA Insurance Commissioner, Michael Humphreys about getting paid under property damage liability coverage. Commissioner Humphreys had received a letter the week before from the PTA regarding this matter, which he referenced in his response to Rep. Guzman.
