Motorist Services

OCTA offers emergency towing services with the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), provides motorist aid call boxes through the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE), and removes abandoned vehicles through the Service Authority for Abandoned Vehicles (SAAV). OCTA operates the Orange County Taxi Administration Program (OCTAP). OCTAP issues taxi business, driver, and vehicle permits on behalf of Orange County’s 34 cities. In cooperation with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, OCTA is assisting with the implementation of the 511 Motorist Aid and Travelers’ Information System (MATIS). This system will provide a variety of traveler information through an interactive voice response system and web portal.
