GreenRoad Earns Spot on 2010 Mass Transit Top Tech Innovations List

GreenRoad, a provider of driver safety and efficiency offerings, announced it is one of 10 companies included in the 2010 Mass Transit Top Tech Innovations list.

The annual list honors technologies making contributions to the public transit industry. According to GreenRoad, innovations are nominated by industry professionals and judged on criteria that include cost savings, improving employee and/or rider safety, improving security and creating a more sustainable operation.

The goal with the Top Tech Innovations was to show how transit is leading the charge in many technology sectors," said Fred Jandt, Mass Transit magazine editor. We were encouraged to get so many great products to choose from, like the one from GreenRoad.

"We are honored to be included among so many great companies who are truly making a difference in transportation," said Dan Steere, CEO of GreenRoad. "This recognition is particularly important to us because it embodies everything GreenRoad is committed to: improved safety, cost savings and sustainability."

GreenRoad's approach to driving is transforming the way the industry views safety and sustainability. Its proprietary technology-based service, GreenRoad 360, provides drivers and fleet managers with real-time, feedback, analysis, reporting and coaching on drivers' abilities, maneuvers and patterns. As a result, GreenRoad 360 changes both conscious and unconscious driving behaviors.

A typical GreenRoad customer averages a 50 percent reduction in crash costs and up to a 10 percent reduction in fuel consumption and emissions within the first year. Furthermore, GreenRoad saves fleets money in top vehicle expense categories (fuel, crash, insurance, wear and tear) and provides a way to reduce emissions.
