 Good afternoon everybody. We are thrilled that you could join us today. It's very exciting for us to share with you our technology pilot, our automated vehicle locator system. I'm going to give a general explanation of what the system does. Then the governor will make some comments, and then we will move inside where our bureau director of maintenance and operations rich room and will give us a detailed example of exactly how this system works. So we're here today. We ran a smaller program pilot program earlier this year, but this year this winter we will have over 700 units installed, 500 and PennDOT vehicles, and a little over 200 in vehicles that we rent for our winter operations. As you know, our winter operations are one of the most important functions that we perform as PennDOT. And this AVL system is going to allow us to do it in a much more efficient and a much more cost-effective way than ever before. It's a great example of the go-time initiatives of this of Governor Wolf's administration. It's going to allow us to save real money. We expect to save 1.4 million dollars over the four to six years as this program is laid out. It's going to allow us to be more efficient with our equipment. And we're going to be able to see what the most efficient routes are and how frequently we run them. It's going to show us what type of materials, as well as how much materials are anti-skin materials, our salt materials, and how they are used, and we'll be able to assess them after every winter storm. And it's also going to help us be more transparent here at PennDOT. We're going to be able to give this data to our 511 system, where residents in the Commonwealth will be able to see where our trucks are, where salt has just been laid down, where our routes, where our plows are, so that they can safely navigate where they need to be during these winter storms. Again, we're very excited to be utilizing modern technology to make it more efficient, as well as cost-effective. And at this time, I'd love to turn the mic over to Governor Wolf. Thank you. Thank you, Secretary Richards. I appreciate the kind comments and appreciate the good work you're doing here at PennDOT. This is about technology. It's about efficiency, about making government smarter and saving money, taxpayer money. But really, this is about customer service. And I think PennDOT, sometimes we lose sight of the fact that really what PennDOT does centrally is to make our lives all citizens of Pennsylvania, people who visit here, easier. By the way, I want to compliment all of you on the New York split. This is so nice coming to work in the morning from York County. Those of you who come from York County to Harrisburg, that was PennDOT. That was their design. They did that. And all of us who came up in the old system with the one exit lane, we now have two exit lanes, and it's much easier to get to work. That makes a difference. And that's customer service. That's making our lives easier. And that's what this is about. AVL, we tried it last year in about 100, a little over 100 vehicles to show people who wanted to drive maybe to help an aging, ailing parent or grandparent what route to take, where the plows had actually operated most recently. And we're doing that now 700 vehicles, I guess, this year and eventually on the way to making sure that all 2000 vehicles, those leased and those owned by PennDOT actually have this AVL so that we can actually signal to consumers, to drivers who actually want to use the roads in dangerous conditions so they can know what roads have been plowed and what roads they can most safely take. This is a big deal. Again, as the Secretary said, it's good for taxpayers. It saves money. It makes government work better, more efficiently. But it's really a customer service issue. And that customer service issue is that we are making lives every day in different ways better and better for the people of Pennsylvania. And I think that's a really important thing. So I want to thank PennDOT for doing that, for making life better for all of us. And thank you for doing so much in the short time that you've been secretary. Thank you very much.
