IGEN Networks Corporation was awarded a contract to provide its telematics program, Medallion GPS, to New York State counties. According to a press release, all political subdivisions and districts located in New York will be allowed to purchase the fleet services through the contract.

IGEN's Medallion GPS fleet services will include its patented "Digital Telematics Signature," which IGEN says offers greater accuracy in measuring and scoring driver behavior across all light-commercial fleet vehicles and their drivers.

“Fleet owners today must provide driver-scores for their drivers to qualify for commercial fleet insurance,” said Neil G Chan, CEO of IGEN Networks Corp. "A large part of County vehicles are self-insured which offers an excellent fit for Medallion GPS capabilities. We expect our first deployments with the New York State Counties will become a bench-mark and reference for other Counties across the US."

Those initial states include Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee and California.
