The License Monitor program notifies its clients of all reported DMV events through an online Pro-Active Motor Vehicle Record (P-MVRTM) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The License Monitor application further empowers users with an intelligent Driver Data Management System (DDMSTM) -- a driver data management system with built-in advanced report generation features that enable organizations to easily review driver records and quickly identify drivers that present the greatest risk to the organization.

Employers of all sizes currently benefit from the service by monitoring their employed CDL, hazardous materials and standard vehicle operators.

In January, 2003, the Federal Department of Transportation reviewed the License Monitor program and concluded that organizations enrolling their drivers in the program satisfy the DOTs mandatory Annual Driving Record Inquiry and Review requirements thereby eliminating the burdensome maintenance of paper motor vehicle records for those organizations. The program has been available to all commercial fleet organizations through the internet at www.licensemonitor.com

The program is now also available to all qualifying New York State public entities (State, County, City, Town, Village, etc.) through the New York State Office of General Services, Agreement # PS61131, Group 79132 License Monitor Inc. -- Electronic On-Line Database.
