You may know that the MTA here in Los Angeles is offering free trips for people in need of a ride. But, a new company's providing a unique service for drivers who may have had too much to drink and don't want to risk it, it's called Scooterpatrol, a Sunset Beach not for profit that can get both you and your vehicle back home when you're unable to do that yourself.”

but Panzica’s program is all heart.”

Bessie G. - Belmont Shore, Long Beach , CA

“A Long Beach-area business called Scooter Patrol has brought a new meaning to the term "designated driver". The company is committed to keeping drunk drivers off the road in Seal Beach, Long Beach, Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. Founder Anthony Panzica has devised a unique form of free, alternative transportation for intoxicated individuals at bars, sporting events, concerts and other public functions.”
Long Beach Press-Telegram Newspaper

“In Los Angeles, a nonprofit organization called Scooter Patrol has found a solution to one problem. Many drivers risk the consequences of driving after drinking because they don’t want to leave their vehicles in a tavern parking lot. Scooter Patrol drivers go to the customer, put their scooter in the customer’s vehicle, then drive both car and owner home. Once at the destination, the Scooter Patrol driver gets back on his scooter and leaves. 
The service is free, but drivers often receive big tips from clients thankful to be home safely with their vehicles."
Tri City Herald Newspaper – Washington State

“I know the devastation that can happen from drunk driving. You can’t get much better than Scooter Patrol because he takes you home in your own car and you don’t have to worry about getting back to your car because it is sitting in your drive way. In our society, drinking is so prevalent. Scooter Patrol is a great way to stop drunk driving.”
Glenn Hughes – Owner of Kanvas By Katin - Coastal Scene Magazine

“Anthony Panzica can be considered a “guardian angel” of sorts for imbibed motorists and lifesaver for local residents. They may not even realize they owe their life to a guy driving a pintsized scooter or might not even grasp the fact they may have faced danger.”
Coastal Scene Magazine

“Panzica’s concept for Scooter Patrol is ingenious – eliminate the most common excuse for why someone who may have had too much to drink
refuses to take a taxicab home by driving them home in their own car.”
Coastal Scene Magazine

“It is easier to call them than hurt someone.”
Bill C. - Long Beach resident

“The reason that people don’t take taxi cabs home after they have been drinking is because they don’t want to leave their car behind, Scooter Patrol is the easiest sell in the world because it gets your car home too. It’s a no-brainer.”
Toby Reese – Owner of Mahe’ Restaurant in Seal Beach, CA

“I go to the bars early to hand out business cards and tell people about our service and let them see our logos while they are still sober, If we go later, they are impossible to reach. They are in a different mode after two or three drinks.”
Anthony Panzica – Scooter Patrol

“I have recommended Scooter Patrol to my customers for years, We keep a stack of ScooterPatrol business cards behind the bar.When a customer seems a little intoxicated we’ll offer Scooter Patrol services or
call a cab. We are really strict on letting people leave here after they have had a little bit to drink. Our valet service is good at letting us know if a customer needs Scooter Patrol or a cab.”
Brad Davenport – Bartender / Manager at Mahe’ Restaurant in Seal Beach, CA

“I have walked into some bars at 1:45am and they are scary places, even for me.”
