Our Successes
Empire State Towing and Recovery Association
Allowing rear facing blue lights to be installed on tow trucks had been a priority for the Association for many years.
In the US a tow truck operator is killed ever five days. The team at OA worked to educate the Governor’s office and the Legislature about the importance of blue lights to the safety of tow truck operators who are often the only first responder on the roadside. As part of the State Budget, legislation was finally approved allowing rear facing blue lights to be installed during a hazardous operation.
