We’ve written several times in the last year about cities around the world utilizing GPS tracking devices to improve their public transportation systems.
Our latest news find on the topic details a GPS tracking initiative for public transportation GPS trackers in Pullman, WA as a result of a stimulus grant which will also fund the purchase of a camera for each bus.
The GPS tracking system is currently in testing, and is expected to be available to patrons in 2012.

TrackingTheWorld, the World’s leader in GPS tracking, is currently seeking partnerships with vendors and distributors for the firm’s new profit sharing program which provides generous monthly recurring income opportunities based on activated software subscriptions. No cash investment is required.
The plan begins with 25% profit sharing when a distributor reaches 10 activated subscriptions, followed by 30% profits for distributors reaching 50-99 subscriptions, 35% profits for distributors reaching 100-199 subscriptions, and 40% profits for distributors reaching 200 or more activated subscriptions on TrackingTheWorld’s GPS tracking software platform.
All distributors have the opportunity to earn additional profit from GPS tracking hardware sales. Participants are not required to maintain a stock of GPS tracking devices. Free drop shipping service is available for TrackingTheWorld hardware (actual shipping fees are the responsibility of the distributor), and white labeling options are available for qualified distributors.
TrackingTheWorld’s profit sharing program is also open to existing distributors and businesses desiring to earn more than their current profit sharing program offers.
The first step to qualify for TrackingTheWorld profit sharing is to submit a distributor application through the company’s website at www.trackingtheworld.com. Requirements for becoming a distributor include an approved website for selling GPS tracking equipment or other consumer electronics, and credit card processing capabilities. Profit sharing is available only to U.S. distributors.
TrackingTheWorld maintains two subscription pricing options for distributors to offer their customers. Subscriptions are priced at $39.95 per month and $59.95 per month, and continue until the customer cancels. Subscriptions are billed in advance in three, six, or twelve month intervals. Additional incentives are available for customers who wish to subscribe for longer periods.
Two Examples of Earning Potential with Profit Sharing from TrackingTheWorld:
A distributor with 1,500 activated trackers charging $39.95 per month for subscriptions would earn 40 percent profit, a total of $20,970 per month, or $251,640 per year.
Now, compare the same profit sharing example using our $59.95 subscription price:
A distributor with 1,500 activated trackers charging $59.95 per month for subscriptions would earn 40-percent profit, a total of $32,970 per month, or $395,640 per year.

Two-million dollars in grant funding will be put to work improving technology for Columbia, Missouri’s city bus transportation system, including the possible addition of a GPS tracking system to the city’s bus fleet, and the addition of natural gas powered buses.
The GPS tracking systems would allow smart phone users to view the location and arrival information of each bus.
Other technologically-advanced considerations include auto-counting of passengers and length of individual bus rides with the goal of creating a more efficient public transportation system for the city.

Does GPS tracking teenage drivers really make them better drivers? According to a recent study, the answer is YES. While some parents may feel awkward using GPS tracking to monitor their child’s driving habits, it
turns out that use of GPS tracking devices do, in fact, improve teen driving habits–especially if the teenage driver is aware that there is a GPS tracker in his or her vehicle.
A new study released by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety showed that
when teens know that their driving was being monitored by their parents they
perform better behind the wheel than their non-monitored counterparts.

Here on our GPS tracking blog, we’ve often discussed the benefits of GPS tracking systems for kids, including GPS tracking for teenage drivers, GPS tracking for school buses, and GPS tracking systems for child security. According to a recent news article, daycares in Sweden are now utilizing GPS tracker devices for keeping track of students on outings.
Some of the GPS trackers used in Swededn are incorporated into special vests worn over each child’s clothing. The GPS tracking vests allow teachers to view all students on one screen and quickly be aware of students tempted to wander away from the group.
While some parents and other cite concerns of GPS tracking devices replacing staff members, daycares insist the GPS trackers are used as an added measure of security implemented in the best interest of the children.

A New York Department of Labor employee is suing his previous employer for
planting a GPS tracking device on his personal vehicle. The man, who
was fired in August of 2010 for suspected time-sheet violations, is suing
the New York Department of Labor for implanting a GPS device in his car in
2008 while he was at work. The data from this device was a major factor in his
termination.
The man and the ACLU have filed a petition against the state. Currently the
matter awaits a ruling in the NY state appeals court.
The device was actually installed by the Inspector General’s office. However,
the New York branch of the ACLU cites that the covert GPS tracking system violates the state’s constitution.
