The county's safety team reviewed GPS data to set a baseline and then shared targeted reports with departments and supervisors. That outreach led to what the presenter described as an 89% reduction in high-speed instances across a three-month span: from a high count of over 13,000 events down to about 60.
Rick Brush, chief member services officer for PRISM (a joint powers authority that provides pooled coverage and risk services for counties and other public agencies), presented an Eagle Award to the county risk team for innovation and excellence. PRISM highlighted the county's ability to document baseline data, communicate with departments, and produce measurable reductions in risky driving behavior.
Board members commended the risk team's efforts and said the program saves potential claims costs and improves employee safety. PRISM emphasized that other member agencies can replicate the approach.
