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.
