Please note:
- On June 17, 2025, AT&T will stop supporting email-to-text messages. That means we won't be able to send text messages to AT&T customers. If you are an AT&T customer, we recommend switching to receiving towing alerts through your email address.
- Remember to double check the posted signs on your street. If the posted sign is different from an electronic towing notification, you should always follow the posted sign on the street.
