GPS tracking results in huge fuel savings for NY town October 12, 2007
Posted by Rich in : Uncategorized , trackbackThe city of Islip, N.Y., on Long Island, has seen a dramatic drop in fuel use since implementing GPS tracking of municipal vehicles. Supervisor Phil Nolan believes city employees had been using fuel for personal trips.
In May, June and July of last year, town employees pumped a total of 110,293 gallons, compared to 96,160 during the same period this year, a 13 percent drop.
Cutbacks in overtime could account for part, but not all, of the change, Nolan said.
The tracking systems were installed in 614 vehicles in May. This is a great example of how GPS tracking systems can help pay for themselves.
