Malibu Hopes To Tow More Cars This Summer Thanks To A New In-Town Tow Lot
Tow trucks used to have to drive to Thousand Oaks with impounded cars.

MALIBU, CA — Illegal parkers beware: Malibu recently gave the towing process an efficiency boost.
Malibu on May 27 began using the Malibu High School parking lot to store impounded cars. The arrangement is meant to save towing companies time: Cars are typically towed to an impound lot in Thousand Oaks. The new lot means they can spend more time actually towing cars, according to city officials.
"The towing companies can tow away more illegally parked vehicles, helping to ensure beach access, resident and visitor parking, and keeping the roadways safe and clear for emergency responders," reads a news release from the city.
