The events of 2020 strained public budgets like never before. The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion federal relief package signed into law in early 2021, includes aid available to state and local governments – including police, EMS and fire agencies, as well as schools – via grants to help cover unexpected costs and shortfalls, such as payroll and distance learning initiatives. Here are six things covered in this guide that you need to know and do to make the most of this funding opportunity.
  1. What is the American Rescue Plan?
  2. What does the ARP mean for public safety?
  3. What does the ARP mean for schools?
  4. What kinds of projects may be eligible?
  5. How do we apply for ARP funds?
  6. Where can we get help to apply for ARP funds?
Federal pandemic relief funds are available under the American Rescue Plan to help public safety agencies and schools recover costs and improve communications systems and other critical tools. Download this guide to help you tap into this resource.

Our robust suite of driver tracking and coaching tools help you track and evaluate driver performance.

Why driver tracking?
Aggressive driving can waste fuel and cause unnecessary vehicle wear and tear. Additionally, unsafe driving can potentially lead to collisions, injury, or expensive litigation. Fleets can address these issues using driver tracking and coaching with telematics.

Instant MyGeotab notifications
Take advantage of MyGeotab’s flexible notification system to receive email or text message notifications based on user-defined rules. Stay on top of day-to-day fleet activities, such as unsafe driving behavior or when drivers enter or exit specific zones.

Improve driver behavior
Leverage Geotab’s fleet tracking technology and easy-to-use MyGeotab software to improve driving behavior with scorecards, trend reports, and innovative Add-In solutions for driver distraction and collision avoidance.

The shortage of semiconductor chips has plagued most manufacturer’s for months, most notably the automakers, computer industry, security video/camera market, and yes, also the 2-way radio market and Motorola radios.

The shortage has slowed production lines, causing dwindling inventories. EE has taken several steps toward ameliorating the situation, one of which is placing several additional orders for stock, rather than ordering when we have a customer need/order. “There are concerns that we will not see a dramatic improvement till Q2, 2022,” according to EE President Mark Clark. The shortage is due to many issues all crashing together, a fire at a semi-conductor plant, reduction of production due to lower orders early in the COVID era, fewer workers to make the chips during COVID, supply transportation issues, and now – pent up demand for products across several different manufactured products.

EE continues to work towards fulfilling customer orders timely, but all should be aware of extended delivery times, from three weeks to almost ten weeks.
