The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is expanding its HELP Program to assist motorists in rural areas of the state.

Currently, TDOT’s HELP Trucks patrol Tennessee’s four largest urban areas—Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Memphis. With this expansion, the Rural Service Program will launch this spring, starting with Region 2, which includes Cumberland County. By this summer (2026), it will extend across all four regions, covering more than 870 miles of interstate.  (Images courtesy TDOT)
