New York State Region 8 HELP Trucks

THIS WIKI IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Information

R8 HELP.pdf

HELP - Highway Emergency Local Patrol

HELP began operation in 1994 as the first part of a comprehensive response to increased traffic on the highways in NYSDOT Region 8. The program now boasts 38 trucks and over 800 patrol miles. In 2018, these HELP trucks logged over 26,000 "assists".

Each HELP vehicle patrols a specific segment of the roadway called a "sector", the combination of one or more sectors creating a "beat". There are six beats in Region 8 that cover portions of the Sprain Brook Parkway, Saw Mill River Parkway, Hutchinson River Parkway, Taconic State Parkway, Palisades Parkway, I-287, I-684, NY 17, I-84, US 6, US 9, Cross County Parkway, I-95, and I-87 (NYS Thruway)

Operations

HELP trucks in Region 8 (Westchester & Hudson Valley) Operate
Monday-Friday, 06:00-10:00 and 15:00-19:00
Hours are expanded as needed for special events and holidays.

HELP Trucks in the Hudson Valley Operate in Dutchess Putnam Ulster, Orange, and Rockland Counties. While Help Trucks in Westchester operates in Westchester County Only.

Radio OperationsSetup

Unlike other DOT Regions R8 Help Trucks operate on the OneVoice Network DMR System.

They were using this system with the TGs 100501 & 100501 until October 2022 when they switched to the NYCOMCO DMR System. When they were using the NYCOMCO DMR System they were operating on TG 19118 & 19119. But then in April of 2023, they switched back to OneVoice Network due to poor coverage with NYCOMCO.

Now they operate on talkgroups 1898909 and 1898910 on the 171 (OneVoice Network) DMR System. They Can be heard on Various sites listed Below.
