Call Boxes
SACOG manages the Sacramento region's highway call box program, a cooperative effort that has put more than 1,275 call boxes on about 750 miles of highway in a seven-county area. The boxes provide motorists in need with a direct link to the California Highway Patrol, via a private call answering service.
The program is a joint venture of Sacramento, San Joaquin, Sutter, Yolo, Yuba, and El Dorado counties, which together operate the Capitol Valley Regional Service Authority for Freeways and Expressways (SAFE), also known as Capitol Valley SAFE (CVFRS). SACOG also manages the callboxes located in Glenn County. It is financed by an annual $1 charge on all registered vehicles in the participating counties. SACOG provides staffing and management for SAFE.
