From a jump start to a gallon of gas, or simply changing a flat tire, Freeway Service Patrol trucks and drivers help people get back on the road. They’ll even help take vehicles to a safe location off the freeway without charge.
Motorist Services manages the Orange County call box network found on all major Orange County freeways, along toll roads and select state highways. While call boxes served an important purpose at a time when cellular services were limited, call box services are transitioning to 511, the next generation of motorist aid.
The 511 Motorist Aid and Traveler Information System helps commuters plan trips, check travel conditions, find traveler resources, and more by calling 511, visiting SoCal511.com, or using the 511 mobile app.
