Fort Worth Ambulance Fleet Taps Driver Monitoring System

To improve driver safety and performance, MedStar Mobile Healthcare, the exclusive ambulance service provider to over 880,000 residents throughout the Fort Worth, TX, area, as recently turned to a driver safety monitoring and feedback system.

During a four-month full-fleet trial phase with the driver safety program, MedStar logged a 76 percent reduction in traffic violations, and a 48 percent reduction in distracted driving. It was these results that led to a decision to deploy the DriveCam program fleet-wide.

“Safety is our first concern,” said Shaun Curtis, risk and safety manager at MedStar Mobile Healthcare. He added, “We found that you can capture video all day long, but if you can’t understand the data and act on it to easily make concrete improvements, it isn’t effective.”
