DOTD assists motorists and improved traffic flow through its contracted Motorist Assistance Patrol (MAP) services. Providing free services to stranded motorists in Baton Rouge (I-10, I-12 and I-110), Lake Charles (I-10), Shreveport-Bossier City (I-20) and New Orleans (I-10), MAP both reduces traffic congestion caused by stalled vehicles and provides safety and comfort to those stranded. With an average of 150-200 motorists assisted each week, DOTD has helped literally thousands of Louisiana interstate travelers over the past few years.
