A brake assist system for actuating a brake pedal of a vehicle has an actuator having a cylinder with the rod translatably extending therefrom, a hand control adapted to be positioned adjacent a steering wheel of the vehicle, and a controller connected to the actuator and to the hand control. The actuators adapted to cause the rod to translate relative to the cylinder. One of the rod and the actuator is adapted to be connected to the brake pedal. The hand control is adapted to be grassed by an operator of the vehicle. The hand control is movable from a home position toward an extended position. The controller causes the rod to move relative to the cylinder of the actuator relative to the movement of the hand control. The actuator is a servomotor that causes the rod to rotate so it is translate relative to the cylinder.
