Special capability

Maps that prove service delivery

Most Geotab resellers can sell you plow tracking. Far fewer can sit down with your GIS team, work with the layers you already maintain, and build verification around how your agency is actually organized.

We keep a certified GIS specialist on staff. That's why agencies running fixed-route services — snow plowing, street sweeping, sanitation — come to us specifically, and it's the difference between a map that shows where trucks went and a record that proves which streets were treated.

One platform

Fleet optimization for public works

Improving fleet management and reducing operational costs starts with having the right technology in place. Data opens the door to better decision-making and simplifies the way you manage your entire fleet.

Vehicle maintenance, winter operations, motor pool management, and asset tracking can all be managed under one easy-to-use platform — which matters more in government than almost anywhere else, because the alternative is a separate system per department and no way to answer a question that crosses two of them.

Equip your drivers

Rasters, a cdware technology

Rasters brings turn-by-turn navigation and route management into MyGeotab, so a driver sees the route on an in-cab screen the way a delivery driver sees a delivery — which street is next, which pass they're on, and whether the plow is up or down.

  • Institutional knowledge stays with the agency. The operator who has run the same route for twenty-five years knows which alley floods, which hill needs a second pass, and where the cul-de-sac turnaround actually is. Built into the route, that knowledge survives their retirement instead of leaving with them.
  • New drivers are productive in minutes, not seasons. A seasonal hire or a new operator follows the route on screen rather than following a veteran in another truck. That shortens the ramp from years to a shift.
  • Fewer missed streets and fewer callbacks. Turn-by-turn guidance with live progress means the route gets completed the way it was planned, and a supervisor can see how far along each truck is without a radio call.

Purchasing

We've removed the red tape from buying

If your agency holds one of these cooperative agreements, the competitive solicitation has already been done. You can purchase directly rather than running your own RFP — which typically turns a months-long procurement cycle into a purchase order.

Different departments, different problems

A plow operator, a first responder dispatcher, and a motor pool coordinator are solving genuinely different problems on the same platform.

Public Works

Elite Partner 2026

The core of what we do in government. Vehicle maintenance, asset tracking, and route verification in one place — plus GIS integration that turns your existing map layers into proof of service delivery for council, constituents, and the budget conversation.

Street sweeping is part of that picture. Broom position and sweeper activity can be pulled off the equipment and joined to your route layers, so a swept street is recorded as swept rather than assumed — the same verification that applies to plowing, applied to the rest of the season.

Sweeper integrations

Winter Operations

Specialization

Plowing and salting roads is a critical service delivered by local governments and municipalities. Optimizing winter maintenance maximizes mobility of the traveling public while minimizing collisions due to winter driving conditions. With real-time reporting on salt usage and winter maintenance activity, roads can be plowed and de-iced as soon as possible — and you can show exactly which streets were treated and when.

Spreader controller integrations

Waste Management

Specialization

Collection routes follow the same fixed-route logic as plowing, which means the same verification applies — confirm route completion, document missed pickups with data rather than recollection, and resolve service complaints without sending a supervisor to drive the route.

Sanitation vehicles are also where we do our most involved camera work. Multi-camera setups around the truck cover the road-facing view, the hopper, and the blind spots a refuse body creates, so a claim about a damaged cart, a struck mirror, or a pickup that "never happened" gets settled with footage tied to the exact stop.

First Responders

Geotab's secured and sophisticated fleet management solutions offer the fleet-wide insight needed to transform operations and ensure driver and civilian safety. With Active Tracking, dispatchers can follow emergency vehicles in real time to ensure that they arrive and depart safely and efficiently.

Utilities

Effectively manage the safety of employees and contractors on the road and at the job site. Stay connected to fleet operations with real-time tracking and data intelligence. For utility vehicles operating in harsh conditions, the GO RUGGED telematics device is IP67 rated for increased protection from the elements.

Motor Pool & Shared Fleets

Shared vehicles are the hardest to account for, because no one owns them. Utilization data shows which units are actually earning their place and which could be cut — the analysis that makes a fleet-reduction decision defensible rather than political.

Education & Student Transport

District fleets carry the tightest safety expectations and the least tolerance for a vehicle that doesn't start. Preventive maintenance, driver behavior monitoring, and real-time location support both the safety case and the parent phone call.

Common questions

Before you ask

Do we need to issue an RFP to purchase?

Generally not, if your agency can buy from a cooperative contract. Sourcewell, NASPO ValuePoint, Cal eProcure, and OhioBuys have each already run a competitive solicitation, and agencies that hold those agreements can purchase against them directly.

That said, procurement rules vary by jurisdiction and some agencies have their own thresholds and approvals regardless. We'll walk through which vehicle fits your process rather than assuming one does.

Is the platform FedRAMP authorized?

Geotab holds FedRAMP authorization along with FIPS 140-3 validation and ISO 27001 certification. For most public sector buyers those three are what clears IT and security review, and they're a large part of why Geotab is deployed as widely as it is across government.

Can you integrate our existing GIS?

Yes, and it's a genuine specialization rather than a checkbox. We connect existing layers — ArcGIS, OpenStreetMap, WMS, XYZ tiles — into MyGeotab so route verification is built on the maps your GIS team already maintains.

You don't rebuild anything, and drivers don't get a new workflow. See the GIS page for how the whole thing works.

Can we track salt usage and plow activity?

Yes, with one dependency worth understanding up front: the data has to come off the equipment. For salt usage, that means a spreader controller we have an integration with. For plow activity, it means the truck has a system in place that reports plow status — up or down — to the GPS/AVL unit.

Where that hardware is present, real-time reporting on salt usage and plow activity is straightforward, and connecting it to your route layers is what turns it into proof — which streets were treated, in what order, and how long ago. That's what answers the council question and the resident complaint, both of which tend to arrive during the storm rather than after it.

Where it isn't, you still get location, speed, and route completion for every truck; you just won't get material usage or blade position until the equipment side is addressed. We'll go through your spreader controllers and plow setups before anyone commits to a number, so nobody discovers the gap after the purchase order.

How does this support our EV transition?

EV suitability analysis looks at how your existing vehicles are actually driven and identifies which ones could be replaced with an electric equivalent without disrupting the work. That's a very different exercise from guessing based on vehicle class.

Once EVs are in the fleet, the platform handles them alongside everything else — plus CO₂ calculations and emissions reporting for the sustainability commitments most agencies now carry.

How does motor pool management work?

Shared vehicles get tracked like any other asset, but the reporting that matters is utilization — how often each unit is actually used, by which department, and for how long.

That's usually what a fleet-reduction or right-sizing conversation needs, because it replaces an argument about who needs what with a record of what actually got used.

How long does installation take?

It depends on your fleet's needs and preferences.

A GO device can be self-installed in a matter of minutes. For professional installation, we coordinate with your team to minimize downtime.

Whether you want a quick deployment or a systematic rollout, we work with you every step of the way.
