Star FHP

Star FHP (*347) is a cellular phone program used by motorists to report drunk drivers, traffic crashes, stranded or disabled motorists, or any suspicious incidents occurring on Florida roadways. Motorists who dial *FHP from their cellular phones are able to contact the nearest FHP station free of charge, courtesy of participating Florida cellular phone companies.

The Florida Highway Patrol has noticed a substantial increase in calls reporting drunk drivers as a result of Star FHP. The long term goal of the program is for Star FHP to become as familiar to cellular phone users as the emergency 911 system is for non-cellular users.

The Florida Department of Transportation has erected over 1,000 signs at strategic locations throughout Florida in order to inform motorists of the program. The Star FHP project was initiated in April, 1994.
