Streamline Fleet Operations and Strengthen Safety Across Florida
FASTER Asset Solutions Joins the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program
Florida’s law enforcement and public agencies face a constant challenge: managing fleets that must be reliable, efficient, and safe — all while balancing shrinking budgets and rising public expectations.
That’s where the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) Cooperative Purchasing Program (CPP) comes in. And now, FASTER Asset Solutions, the nation’s most trusted fleet management platform for government and public safety, is part of that program — giving Florida agencies a compliant, RFP-free path to modernize their fleet operations and safety technology.
A Trusted Procurement Pathway for Florida Agencies
Since 1993, the FSA Cooperative Purchasing Program has provided more than 400 agencies statewide with a pre-vetted network of vendors offering competitively bid contracts. The goal is simple: make it faster, easier, and more compliant for public agencies to buy the equipment and technology they need.
With FASTER officially awarded a place on this contract, sheriffs’ offices, municipalities, and county fleets can now procure:
- Fleet Management Information System (FMIS) software
- GPS fleet tracking and telematics
- Vestige vehicle and body cameras
- Vestige wearable panic button solutions
—all without having to issue a separate RFP.
As Dan Levy, General Manager of FASTER, explains:
“This award is about making it easier for Florida agencies to access proven technology that keeps their fleets efficient and their people safe.”
How the FSA Program Works
Joining the FSA Cooperative Purchasing Program means FASTER Asset Solutions has already undergone a competitive evaluation and met all criteria for quality, value, and reliability.
That means Florida agencies can:
- Skip the RFP process and purchase directly through the FSA contract
- Save time and administrative effort on procurement
- Ensure compliance with state purchasing requirements
- Leverage pre-negotiated pricing for the best total value
From Tallahassee to Tampa, Miami to Pensacola, this program ensures every agency — regardless of size or budget — can access the same level of trusted technology used by leading fleets nationwide.
As Matt Dunagan, Executive Director of the Florida Sheriffs Association, shared in his welcome letter:
“We appreciate FASTER’s commitment to innovation, service, and excellence, and look forward to a strong and productive partnership.”
A Complete Platform for Fleet Efficiency and Safety
Fleet Maintenance, Simplified
At the center of the offering is the FASTER Fleet Management Information System (FMIS) — a comprehensive software platform used by thousands of government agencies across North America. FMIS automates every aspect of fleet maintenance, repair, and asset lifecycle management.
With FASTER FMIS, Florida agencies can:
- Schedule and track preventive maintenance automatically
- Monitor labor, parts, and fuel costs in real time
- Extend vehicle life and reduce downtime
- Ensure compliance with DOT, OSHA, and internal audit requirements
- Generate reports that turn data into actionable insight
The result is a fleet that runs smarter — with fewer breakdowns, lower costs, and higher accountability.
Real-Time Fleet Visibility with GPS
FASTER’s FMIS integrates seamlessly with GPS and telematics solutions, giving fleet managers a real-time view of every vehicle’s status and location. Supervisors can see where units are, detect unauthorized use, and even optimize routing to reduce fuel consumption and response times.
This unified data environment empowers agencies to:
- Track utilization and idling to cut waste
- Receive instant alerts for speeding or safety violations
- Capture accurate mileage and engine-hour data automatically
- Connect fleet health metrics with maintenance schedules
When paired with Vestige’s video safety systems, that visibility extends beyond dots on a map — offering context and evidence that support better decisions and safer outcomes.
Vestige: The Safety Technology Partner Behind the FASTER Advantage
Through its partnership with Vestige, a fellow Transit Technologies brand, FASTER now brings advanced safety and situational awareness tools directly to Florida’s public agencies through the FSA contract.
Vehicle Cameras: Clarity When It Matters Most
Vestige vehicle cameras give fleet and law enforcement leaders high-definition visibility into on-road events and vehicle interiors.
- 360° coverage ensures critical incidents are captured from every angle.
- AI-powered event detection flags risky driving behaviors, such as distracted or aggressive driving.
- Cloud-based video access allows supervisors to review, share, or export footage within minutes.
For law enforcement, these cameras provide both accountability and protection. For public works, transit, and utilities, they create a culture of safety that reduces accidents and liability exposure.
Body Cameras: Transparency and Trust
Vestige body-worn cameras extend visibility beyond the vehicle. Built for rugged environments, they record high-definition video and automatically upload footage to secure cloud storage.
Their intuitive design helps ensure that critical moments are captured without distraction. Integrated with the FASTER platform, agencies can link body-cam data with incident reports, vehicle logs, and work orders — streamlining investigation workflows and maintaining an unbroken chain of evidence.
Wearable Panic Buttons: Safety at the Touch of a Button
In the field, safety is personal. Vestige wearable panic buttons give officers, field workers, and drivers a discreet, instant way to signal distress.
- One-press activation sends an immediate alert to dispatch or command.
- GPS coordinates pinpoint the user’s location.
- Automatic escalation protocols ensure the right help is dispatched fast.
When seconds matter, this simple device can save lives — providing peace of mind for employees and assurance for leadership.
