We install GPS trackers, dash cams and telematics on city, county, utility and transit fleets across Forsyth County and its neighbors, on site at your yard or motor pool. That covers sanitation and recycling trucks, utility crews, propane-fueled police units and hybrid-electric buses.
Forsyth County counted 382,590 residents in the 2020 Census, and the Census Bureau estimates 401,718 as of July 2025. Ten municipalities share the county: Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Clemmons, Lewisville, King, Walkertown, Rural Hall, Tobaccoville, Bethania and a small part of High Point, with Davie, Stokes and Yadkin counties just beyond.
Winston-Salem has thought about tracking for a long time. In 2013 the city planned automatic vehicle locators for 1,200 of its vehicles, and by 2022 its rolling stock stood at 1,478 vehicles, 36 percent of them on alternative fuel: about 492 on biodiesel, 19 medium-duty hybrids, and a police fleet that runs on propane. In April 2023 the city took recycling collection back in-house after more than 30 years with a contractor and bought 12 new trucks to do it.
The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utility Commission, formed in 1976, serves both the city and the county with about 128,000 water meters, 2,324 miles of water lines and 1,800 miles of sewer, which keeps field crews spread across the whole county every day. The city committed in 2020 to 50 percent clean or renewable energy for its buildings and fleet by 2030 where feasible, and 100 percent across all operations by 2050.
Transit and roads are changing too. WSTA's 2024 federal profile lists 45 buses and 40 demand-response vehicles available, Trans-AID runs its shared-ride paratransit, and in July 2024 WSTA received $4.4 million in federal funds to replace five buses with hybrid-electric models. In January 2026 city crews worked snow and sleet on the 25th and a second storm on the 31st that suspended transit, and new sections of the Northern Beltway opened in September 2026, changing routes across the north side of the county.
We install every major platform with the same on-site process, and we document every vehicle we touch.
Units on sanitation and recycling trucks, utility field trucks, street crews and pool vehicles, placed for a clean signal and wired to a proven ignition source.
Road- and driver-facing cameras on patrol units, refuse trucks, buses and paratransit vans, plus backup and side cameras for trucks working tight residential streets.
Geotab, Samsara, Motive, Verizon Connect, Lytx, Netradyne and more. We install to the provider's spec, test each unit before we leave, and handle platform swaps vehicle by vehicle.
Yes. Hardware from an earlier generation of tracking eventually stops being supported, and swapping it is one of the most common jobs we do. We pull the old units, clean up the old wiring rather than leaving it in the dash, install the new devices and confirm each vehicle is reporting before we leave.
Yes. Tracking and cameras run on the vehicle's 12-volt system, so the fuel type does not change the install itself. On propane vehicles we keep every wire and mount well clear of the fuel tank, lines and regulator.
Yes. Side and backup cameras matter most on automated and rear-load trucks working residential streets, and it is easiest to install them when trucks are new, before routes and crews are set.
Yes. On hybrid and electric buses we work on the 12-volt side only, use the diagnostic port where the platform supports it, and stay well away from high-voltage cables and battery packs.
We work throughout Forsyth County and into Davie, Stokes, Yadkin and Guilford counties, from King down to Clemmons and east to Kernersville.
We work across Forsyth County and the counties around it, from downtown Winston-Salem out along Salem Parkway and the Northern Beltway, and we come to your yard or motor pool.
We come to you. We work at your motor pool, shop or station, so your vehicles never have to be driven anywhere to be installed.
Yes, and fall is the right time to do it. Winston-Salem worked two winter storms a week apart in January 2026, so we schedule street equipment first and finish before the season starts.
Yes. The major platforms we install store position data on the device when signal drops and send it once the vehicle reconnects, so the trip history fills back in.
Yes. We pull the old units, install the new ones and confirm each vehicle is reporting before we leave, so you are not paying for two systems longer than you need to.
No. A town department with a handful of trucks gets the same install, testing and records as a city department with hundreds.
City, county, utility or transit fleet, tell us what you run and when units can come off the road, and we will build the schedule around it.
Tell us the departments, unit counts and platform you use, and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
