Welcome
Welcome to the Garden State Towing Association website! Our goal is to provide an efficient and easy-to-use way to learn about what GSTA does to support towers in the state of New Jersey and beyond. Towing professionals will find relevant information like New Jersey towing laws, upcoming events and resources to allow you to engage further with the industry.
The GSTA was founded in 1987 and remains dedicated to being the voice of New Jersey’s towing industry for nearly 40 years. Please review the information provided on this site, and if it is helpful to you, we’d love to have you on our team!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT!
Congratulations to Our 2025 GSTA Scholarship Winners!
Honoring the Future of Our Industry with the Mary Leigh Barbusin Scholarship Award
Our three very worthy GSTA Scholarship winners have been announced, and we are so proud to have them represent the great state of NJ at their respective campuses.
Each year we offer three $1,000 scholarships through the Mary Leigh Barbusin Scholarship Award. We encourage all tower members with students heading into or attending college or technical school to apply in 2026— this includes employees of tower members, as long as the member is in good standing and has been a member for a minimum of 1 year. Members may also donate to support the scholarship fund.
Pictured below are winners:
Jenna Irrgang of Paul’s Towing in Sewell, NJ
Tyler Makroulakis of ABC Towing in Fort Lee, NJ and
Olivia Powers of Nick’s Towing Service in Rutherford, NJ
