Lytx honors drivers and coaches for highway safety efforts

 Lytx Inc., a maker of video safety and video telematics, recently recognized the winners of the 2024 Driver and Coach of the Year awards for their positive influence on roadway safety.

Each winner successfully implemented the Lytx Driver Safety Program, which combines industry-leading machine vision and artificial intelligence (MV+AI) technology with customizable coaching tools and reporting, to advance their fleet safety skills.

“One of the biggest highlights of our year is hearing the amazing stories and appreciating all of the incredible work that our driving and coaching professionals are performing,” said Jeff Martin, Lytx’s VP of Global Sales Strategy. “Knowing that our state-of-the-art safety tools, combined with these exceptional individual skillsets, are making a positive impact on today’s roadways is deeply gratifying. This effort is at the core of our company’s mission and vision.”

The 2024 honorees were nominated by their peers and managers who identified them for demonstrating exceptional work. After reviewing a record number of nominations, Lytx selected the top three drivers and top three coaches from each of the five categories.
