New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the city’s 1,565 fire and EMS units will be equipped and tracked with an automatic vehicle location system (AVL) by the end of the summer at a cost of $50 million. He said a pilot program with fire department units resulted in a 33-second decrease in response time to emergency incidents, using AVL to make the CAD recommendation. Bloomberg didn’t mention in a press conference or press release what company would be installing the system.
