New online service improves public safety and access to driver status changes

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) launched the nation’s first Driver Record Dashboard, accessible at www.accessidaho.org/itd/monitoring. The new information tool serves as a comprehensive, interactive driver’s license record monitoring service for small to medium business fleets.

The new online dashboard provides a convenient alternative to the process of looking up driver’s license records manually. In addition, the service is designed to increase public safety and help companies mitigate risk, as it flags monitored driver’s records with convictions or suspensions so organizations can keep high-liability, potentially dangerous drivers off the road.

“This new information tool provides immediate access to driver status changes for all classes of licenses. It also enables employers to more easily comply with federal requirements,” said Ed Pemble, ITD driver services manager.

Prior to Driver Record Dashboard, there was no simple way for small and medium companies to track or access data, especially information needed for federal requirements compliance.

Companies can build and manage an unlimited roster of driver’s licenses by entering each driver’s name, license number, and/or birthdate in one online location. Driver records are checked automatically twice a month for new convictions and suspensions. Flagged licenses are available for immediate, secure viewing by authorized personnel within each participating organization via individual usernames and passwords.

In addition, medical certification issue/expiration dates and commercial driver’s license expiration dates are also available for viewing.

ITD is hopeful the service will also drastically reduce the significant number of phone requests it receives for medical certificate information.

The subscription-based service costs $10 per month for access, 28 cents per month for each license monitored, and $9 for each driver’s license record pull following a conviction or suspension. An annual $95 Access Idaho subscription is required, with no additional charge for current subscribers.

“Employers will quickly realize the value and convenience of this service,” added Pemble.

The application underwent thorough testing by users at a bus company, a utility company, and several motor carriers, however it is available to any organization that hires drivers licensed in Idaho.

ITD partnered with Boise-based Access Idaho to build and maintain the service. The partnership operates under a self-funded model in which no tax dollars or state funds were used.
