Case Study: United States Marine Corps reclaims 80% of vehicle-abuse costs and boosts fleet safety with Lytx DriveCam

United States Marine Corps - Customer Case Study

DriveCam powered by Lytx worked with Marine Corps Installations West, which was facing frequent damage to GSA‑leased and personally used sedans, pickups and vans across six bases. With multiple drivers per vehicle and little evidence of incidents, the command struggled to assign responsibility, collect repair costs, and control rising repair and lease expenses.

By installing DriveCam’s exception‑based in‑vehicle video recorders and implementing a weekly review process, fleet managers gained clear, event‑triggered footage to resolve claims, coach drivers and remove unsafe vehicles from service. The program—deployed in more than 800 vehicles—cut time spent identifying and collecting for damage by about 30% in year one, helped reclaim 80% of abuse costs, produced a 35% reduction in damage on monitored police vehicles, and measurably improved fleet safety.
