Leading Traffic Incident Management Provider and subsidiary of Vehicle Management Solutions LLC to Provide Motorist Safety Services

Vehicle Management Solutions LLC (“VMS”), a portfolio company of Mill Point Capital LLC (“Mill Point”), announced that its operating company, AutoBase LLC (“AutoBase”), has been selected by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (“TDOT”) to deliver the state’s new Rural Service Patrol (“RSP”) program. The statewide traffic incident management initiative is designed to improve roadway safety, reduce congestion, and support quick clearance on Tennessee’s rural interstate corridors.

AutoBase was selected following a competitive procurement process based on its extensive experience operating Safety Service Patrol (SSP) and Rural Service Patrol (RSP) programs for transportation agencies nationwide. As part of Vehicle Management Solutions, AutoBase brings proven operational leadership, Traffic Incident Management (“TIM”) certified training standards, and performance driven program management to support TDOT’s safety and mobility objectives.

Under the Rural Service Patrol program, AutoBase will deploy trained operators and dedicated service patrol vehicles to provide rapid assistance for disabled vehicles, minor crashes, roadway debris and other nonrecurring incidents. Services will be delivered in close coordination with TDOT, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and local emergency responders to improve scene safety, accelerate incident clearance and reduce the risk of secondary crashes.

“AutoBase has a long track record of partnering with transportation agencies to deliver professional, reliable service patrol programs,” said Kevin Corcoran, Chief Executive Officer of VMS. “We are proud to support TDOT’s Rural Service Patrol program and help advance its commitment to safety, quick clearance and consistent performance across Tennessee’s rural interstate system.”

On February 18th, TDOT announced a phased plan to expand service patrols statewide. Currently covering Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Memphis, the HELP Trucks Program will add the Rural Service Program in Region 2 this spring, reaching all four regions and over 870 interstate miles by summer 2026. AutoBase will provide transparent performance reporting throughout, meeting Traffic Incident Management standards.

“The expansion of TDOT’s HELP Program into rural areas fills a critical gap in emergency response coverage by improving safety and reducing incident clearance times. These enhancements directly advance TDOT’s mission to provide a safe, reliable transportation system that supports Tennessee’s economic growth and quality of life,” said TDOT Commissioner Will Reid.

This award enhances VMS’s presence across the country in traffic incident management and roadside assistance, demonstrating the company’s ongoing commitment to building specialized businesses that support public-sector transportation partners.
