Metro Freeway Service Patrol

The Metro Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) is a joint program provided jointly by MTA, Caltrans and the CHP. It is a free service to motorists funded by Proposition C, the half-cent sales tax measure passed in November 1990, and state highway funds. The objective of the program is to assist stranded motorists during rush hour traffic in order to reduce congestion and air pollution. Metro FSP drivers, who are fully certified by Caltrans and the CHP, are not paid by motorists and, in fact, cannot accept tips. The service can change a tire, jump start your car, refill your radiator, tape hoses, put a gallon of fuel in your tank and tow your car to a CHP-designated drop zone. They cannot tow your vehicle to a private repair service or residence. The service operates Monday through Friday 6-10 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. In some areas, schedules may vary by 30 to 60 minutes. Special midday coverage is provided 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the downtown Los Angeles area.
