Operators and supervisors of Georgia’s popular Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) program have donned new uniforms to help them be more easily recognizeable beginning this week.

The 93 current HERO workers patrol the 320 miles of metro Atlanta interstates and freeways to offer help to stranded motorists. A HERO will always be driving a labeled vehicle and will always be willing to present their state identification card. They cannot solicit or accept any payment or gratuity.
