June 17 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. ET
This webinar highlights how the Hartford Parking Authority (HPA) uses Samsara’s telematics, camera technology, and AI-driven analytics to create smarter fleets and safer streets. Participants will see how real-time data improves driver accountability, supports proactive maintenance, and strengthens liability protection. Case studies will show how detailed video and GPS evidence have resolved insurance disputes, reduced claims, assisted law enforcement in solving crimes, and identified staff who may benefit from additional training. The session will also explore strategies for gaining union support, leveraging city purchasing power to reduce implementation costs, and embedding telematics into budgeting, fleet planning, and risk management processes to enhance safety and operational efficiency while keeping streets safe.
Attendee Takeaways:
- How telematics, cameras, and AI create smarter fleets by reducing liability, improving efficiency, and controlling costs
- How real-time fleet data helps achieve safer streets by supporting law enforcement, verifying driver actions, identifying staff training needs, and providing clear documentation that unions can agree upon
- How organizations can gain union support for implementing telematics and leverage city consortium purchasing power to secure reduced pricing – while embedding these technologies into budgeting, fleet planning, and risk management strategies
