Town of Blacksburg Department of Public Works Case Study
Town of Blacksburg Department of Public Works Case Study With a need for detailed reporting, the Department of Public Works in the Town of Blacksburg needed a robust telematics solution that could provide reliable, real-time data about every aspect of the fleet’s operations: They found it in the Geotab Public Works solution. The Challenge: Data accuracy For many fleets today, data is the lifeblood of an efficient operation. But for the Town of Blacksburg, Va., reliable data was sometimes hard to come by. John O’Shea, Safety and Special Projects Manager for the Town of Blacksburg Department of Public Works (DPW), notes that because of Blacksburg’s rural location, connectivity can be spotty. This affected his ability to gather data from the fleet’s previous telematics systems.
