841-HELP

The Hawai`i State Department of Transportation is proud to present the Freeway Service Patrol, a proven traffic congestion relief program that saves motorists time and money. And it’s free! Providing emergency roadside service keeps our freeways clear and prevents traffic from backing up and causing longer commute times, especially during peak rush hours. Less time on the road also means savings on fuel costs and reduced emissions. Take advantage of this free service today!

To take advantage of these free services, call 841-HELP (841-4357) to contact the Freeway Service Patrol between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for holidays. Watch for the Freeway Service Patrol name and Hawaii’s Department of Transportation seal on the trucks that will operate on the H-1 and Moanalua freeways.

The Freeway Service Patrol program works closely with the Honolulu Police Department. The HPD will respond to 911 distress calls when the Freeway Service Patrol is off-duty (see operating hours) or in locations outside of the FSP service areas.

The Freeway Service Patrol is available from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, including some holidays. The services we provide include:

* Changing flat tires
* Jump starting your car as a result of a dead battery
* Radiator refills
* Making temporary repairs
* Providing gallon of gasoline (we do not provide diesel)
* Towing service
