Mission & Goal
Our goal is to enhance safety and efficiency for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation authorities by establishing secure, AI-powered infrastructure. By implementing automated systems that produce video and photo evidence packages, SaferSmart Zones™ enables municipalities, transit authorities, and law enforcement to streamline enforcement processes and gather data. Powered by BusPas technologies, SaferSmart Zones™ offers a unique combination of AI-driven solutions with real-time analysis that assists transit authorities and municipalities in making data-based decisions.
SaferSmart Zones™ can also deliver real-time AI-driven alerts (Amber and Silver Alerts) to significantly improve operational efficiency and provide support during emergency events.
We believe that enforcing traffic laws for dedicated bus and bicycle lanes, vehicle registration, and pedestrian crossings is critical to providing better transit for growing populations. Automated enforcement is now necessary to allow police, cities, and agencies to effectively manage and meet increasing demands with limited resources.
In addition, SaferSmart Zones™ offers a comprehensive suite of services, including turnkey software for violation and fine management systems, an evidence review portal, secure violation approval platforms for authorities (Zone Alert Platform – ZAP), payment management systems, and dispute resolution systems overseen by local authorities.
Our innovative approach offers various financial models. Our Violator-funded model is supported by our Software as a Service (SAAS) platform. This no-risk model removes the burden of capital investment costs that public organizations and institutions regularly face.
We believe that SaferSmart Zones™ will play a pivotal role in creating safer and more efficient urban environments for everyone.
