The Tennessee Department of Transportation is expanding its HELP Program to assist motorists in rural areas of the state.
The Rural Service Program will launch this spring, beginning with Region 2. Of the $80 million a year Infrastructure budget, approximately $16.7 million will fund the Rural Service Patrol.
T-DOT Commissioner Will Reid tells us more about the project.
Currently, T-DOT’s “HELP Trucks ” patrol Tennessee’s four largest urban areas, but by summer, it will extend across all four regions, covering more than 870 miles of interstate.
