Case Study: City of Mobile, Alabama achieves 62% reduction in collisions with Lytx Driver Safety Program

The City of Mobile, Alabama, reduces collisions by 62% with Lytx

Lytx partnered with the City of Mobile, Alabama to tackle a costly safety problem: high collision rates across municipal fleets (notably solid waste and public works), widespread risky driving behaviors (following too closely, distracted/drowsy driving, low seat‑belt use), and limited visibility into vehicle location and performance — all of which strained the city’s budget and reputation.

By deploying the Lytx Driver Safety Program and Fleet Tracking service (starting with a small trial that expanded citywide), the city enforced new policies, improved monitoring, and coached drivers. The program delivered major gains: a reported 62% reduction in collisions, a 39% drop in risky driving behaviors, a 50% reduction in near collisions, seat‑belt and cell‑phone compliance improvements, concrete reductions in at‑fault crashes (e.g., 10→6 and 16→4 in two sectors), and better driver exoneration and fleet visibility.
