San Francisco is considering the installation of GPS tracking devices for city government vehicles with the goals of tracking the use of the vehicles, more efficiently responding to emergency situations, and save fuel. The city’s fleet consists of around 8,000 vehicles, with around 2,300 of them already equipped with GPS tracking. The cost for equipping the remaining vehicles would be approximately $1.8 million per year. Officials also cite the benefits of GPS trackers in the city’s emergency vehicles in assisting dispatchers with efficiently deploying emergency services when needed.
