Coordinated Highway Assistance & Maintenance Program 
 
CHAMP enhances highway safety across Georgia 
CHAMP, created in 2017, is distinct and separate from the Department's highly successful Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) program, which just marked its 25th anniversary serving motorists in metro Atlanta. The addition of CHAMP to Georgia DOT's safety program makes Georgia the first state to provide statewide interstate highway assistance. 
Georgia DOT offers complimentary interstate highway assistance 24/7 for motorists across Georgia. Call 511 for vehicle assistance or to report an issue.

 We love our CHAMPs 
I am so thankful for this service and for the CHAMP operators. My car blew a tire on I-75. I contacted 511 and they sent a CHAMP. The help made my day. I had been driving for 4 hours before the incident and had 2 more hours to go. Thank you. - C. Randle 
 
People Love CHAMP 
CHAMP, the Coordinated Highway Assistance & Maintenance Program, offers roadside assistance to motorists on interstates outside metro Atlanta. They also maintain roadways and support emergency responders by clearing travel lanes and providing temporary traffic control. By keeping interstates free of dangerous obstacles and debris that restrict movement, they keep unpredictable congestion to a minimum and enhance safety - the primary goal of the program.
