Community Impact Newspaper reports that a CTRMA program that “rescues stranded motorists on major highways in Central Texas and aids in traffic congestion will expand to more than 180 miles on seven highways in the region by mid-2017. The Highway Emergency Response Operator, or HERO, program responds to motorists on I-35 and US 183 who have a flat tire or ran out of gas and assists with removing vehicles that have been in an accident from travel lanes. The program is free for motorists.”
