The Connected City: How St. Petersburg Boosted Efficiency and Safety with Real-Time Insights

Cities today are being asked to do more with less — managing thousands of assets, ensuring public safety, and maximizing the value of every taxpayer dollar.

 

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, has met this challenge head-on by embracing a connected operations approach. With nearly 5,000 assets across 10 departments, St. Petersburg needed real-time visibility to improve fleet performance, reduce risks, and optimize service delivery.

 

In this webinar, city leaders will share how they achieved:

  • A 23% decrease in harsh driving events and an 11% reduction in speeding
  • Faster location of critical equipment, from chainsaws to fire trucks, to speed emergency response
  • Stronger accountability and efficiency in the use of public funds
  • Seamless integration with data systems to centralize operations

Join us to hear firsthand how St. Petersburg became a model for connected government. You’ll gain practical strategies to enhance safety, efficiency, and service delivery in your own community.
