Geotab - Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL)

Geotab provides a comprehensive telematics solution for agencies to manage fleets by collecting data from a small tracking device installed in vehicles. The devices are also known as automatic vehicle locators (AVLs).

This data helps agencies improve productivity, optimize fleet performance through maintenance scheduling and route optimization, enhance safety, ensure compliance, and achieve goals by monitoring driver safety and fuel efficiency. Their platform, MyGeotab, transforms this raw vehicle data into actionable insights for data-driven decision-making across entire fleets. 

All state-owned vehicles are required to be equipped with a Geotab AVL as a result of the February 2020 governor's executive order, which directed state agencies to complete an inventory of vehicles and set a date of March 31, 2020, for agencies to schedule certain vehicles to be equipped with automatic vehicle locators, or AVL. The pandemic that year shifted focus from this effort.

In May 2023, Gov. Kevin Stitt issued an updated executive order that reinitiated the push to get the state's vehicle inventory under control and reasserted the call for AVLs. To assist state agencies in complying with the order, OMES will coordinate installation opportunities for agencies to equip their fleet vehicles with the Geotab AVL device. 

AVL installation events are currently being planned. We will post a link below when opportunities are available.

All hardware will be provided by the installation teams. After installation, agencies will be billed $20 per vehicle, per month for monitoring. Pricing is consistent with the Geotab statewide contract, SW1028. For more information, view the SW1028 pricing guide.
