The Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) added another 41 miles to its coverage in July, filling in gaps in service areas, and boosting the total mileage in the tow truck network to more than 400 (for a map, click here). At the same time, hours were extended on two existing "beats."

To expedite all this additional work, the FSP added seven new trucks to its fleet, bringing the total up to 74.

FSP tow trucks stop more than 9,000 times a month to help moto-rists with car trouble (free of charge), remove hazardous debris or quickly clear accidents along the Bay Area's most congested freeways.

The FSP is jointly operated by MTC's Service Authority for Free-ways and Expressways along with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol.
