The Freeway Service Patrol provides assistance to motorists who are stranded on the highway. A Freeway Service Patrol driver will help with changing a flat tire, jump starting a car, taping hoses and refilling a radiator, and providing a gallon of fuel. If the Freeway Service Patrol cannot start a vehicle, the car will be towed free of charge to the nearest California Highway Patrol-identified location. If needed, the Freeway Service Patrol will provide a free ride for a stranded motorist to the nearest telephone. The Freeway Service Patrol is funded through the California Department of Transportation.
