• Maricopa County, Arizona: A contract for the outfitting of 473 heavy and light-duty vehicles with WebTech Wireless' InterFleet® remote fleet management hardware and software solution was awarded by the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT). The solution provides comprehensive vehicle tracking and diagnostics capabilities for the efficient and effective management of the MCDOT fleet and enhanced emergency response services.

The initial contract, covering 80 vehicles, is focused on specialized winter fleet maintenance and includes snow plow sensors, salt spreader controller integration, on-board diagnostics, customized winter maintenance reporting and integration with the city's own 311 System. The current contract is valued at US$217,665, and allows additional city departments to purchase InterFleet® for their unique requirements. Buffalo is New York State's second largest city with over 1.25 million inhabitants living in the greater Buffalo area, and well known for its severe winter weather.

He added, "NextBus® is also proving to be highly adaptable to customer needs, and we're very pleased that when Welland Transit needed a very cost-effective bus stop announcement system, they chose our NextBus® suite over that of competitors."
