GPS – Gear, People, and Statute: A Guide to County Fleet Risk Management
Speaker: Isaac Garcia, TAC Senior Risk Control Consultant
Maintaining a vehicle fleet can be one of the riskiest endeavors a county takes on. Yet, this is a risk that counties face every day. To address this risk intelligently, we must avoid the potholes and focus on an efficient route that helps us reduce losses and keeps people safe. This session will map out three areas where counties can begin to mitigate fleet risks: Vehicles, Drivers, and Regulations. Along the way we will discuss new technological "detours" a fleet manager should consider.

The primary reason to investigate is to determine the cause(s) of the collision and implement corrective actions or preventive measures that may reduce or prevent recurrence. In this session, we will introduce collision investigation techniques, policies, and procedures, tools necessary to complete an investigation, and more.
