Program Outcomes
Coaching Process1.DriveCam Units download any saved video clips nightly via built in cellular transmitter
2.DriveCam specialists review saved video clips for traffic violations, safety violations or violations of County policy
3.Violations are given a score based on severity and marked as a “coachable” offense
4.Designated staff from each department meet with employees to discuss behavior and ways to modify that behavior to improve their driving safety
Program Outcomes

1. Not Wearing Seatbelt 50 per month
2. Following too Close 45 per month
3. Failure to Scan Roadway 30 per month
4. Stop Sign/Red Light Violations 25 per month
5. Cellphone Use while Driving 15 per month
Coaching vs. Discipline
• DriveCam’s focus is to coach employees to become better and safer drivers thus lowering the number of accidents that occur
• However, safety violations that involve the failure to use personal protective equipment, violation of traffic laws, or violation of Administrative Regulations cannot be ignored when identified during the coaching process
• Administrative Regulation 2.12 requires supervisors to discipline employees that violate safety policies
