The California SAFE Committee is an association of California Call Box organizations. The organization provides a forum to share information and discuss common issues. SAFE program managers meet monthly to deal with call box equipment and maintenance costs, access for disabled motorists to call boxes, technical improvements to call box equipment, safety matters and extending call box coverage to rural counties. The California Highway Patrol dispatch centers answer the call box calls, transfer them as appropriate, and dispatch public safety assistance such as law enforcement, paramedic and fire control.
