Vehicle trouble on the freeway? Help may be closer than you think. The Freeway Service Patrol provides free roadside assistance on Orange County freeways during peak commute hours, helping motorists with flat tires, dead batteries, empty gas tanks and more. Funded in part by Measure M, this service helps get stranded drivers safely off the freeway and keeps traffic moving for everyone. Call 511 and select Motorist Assistance during FSP operating hours to request help.

We had an incredible bike rally yesterday morning! More than 130 cyclists rode together on a four-mile trip through the City of Orange. A big thank you to Directors William Go, Mark Tettemer, Tam T. Nguyen, and Kathy Tavoularis for joining in the fun. Riding a bike is an easy, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to get around, so let’s keep riding during Bike Month and beyond!
