How to use this free service:
FSP patrols the freeways looking for stranded motorists during the specified service times. FSP drivers also receive information from CHP regarding 911 or call box callers requesting assistance. Chances are, if someone is stranded on a freeway, FSP will know about it within a few minutes and will respond as soon as possible.
You can also dial #399 from your cellphone to obtain assistance during normal FSP service hours.
The Metro FSP will not:
- recommend a private mechanic
- accept any payment or tips for assistance
- tow a car to a private repair service or residence
- tow motorcycles or heavy vehicles and trucks
- assist vehicles which have been in accidents unless directed by CHP, but will report any accidents immediately to CHP
