With the platform's traffic data analytics, the county will be able to streamline its response to public complaints and ensure that its streets remain safe for residents and visitors alike.

“We are thrilled to work with Sumter County as they address the growing concerns over speeding and road safety," said Urban SDK's Caleb Newman. "Our platform will provide the county with the tools necessary to make informed decisions on traffic calming and enforcement, ultimately leading to safer roads and a more connected community.”
