Ambulance Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
ESD 11 recorded 19 driving incidents in 2025, a 20.2% increase in insurance costs, and declining driver safety scores despite existing camera-based monitoring. A board-approved ambulance fleet modernization initiative signals readiness to invest in advanced telematics and safety management capabilities.
The opportunity
Board-approved fleet modernization funding creates a near-term procurement window, and cooperative purchasing agreements streamline the path to contract. The PROTECT grant offers a conditionally aligned funding pathway, making this an optimal moment to reduce incident rates, control insurance costs, and strengthen responder safety.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
ESD 11 lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and operates without a district-owned mass-notification platform, relying on county systems. Recent flood deployments exposed critical coordination gaps — including responders unable to access flooded roads — elevating risk to staff and the communities served.
The opportunity
FY 2026 EMPG and HSGP grant funding directly aligns with this initiative, offering a viable path to close preparedness gaps with limited local match. Recent leadership transitions and an identified annual spend of $87,391 in emergency management technology signal readiness for re-evaluation and investment during the current budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
ESD 11 has identified emergency radio communications and backup power resilience as high-priority vulnerabilities, with documented operational gaps exposed during large-scale disaster deployments. Without modernized infrastructure, the district risks communication failures and service disruptions when communities need emergency response most.
The opportunity
FY 2026 EMPG and HSGP grant funding directly supports emergency communications and preparedness infrastructure, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed, reducing procurement complexity. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the district to close critical resilience gaps while maximizing available federal funding.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
ESD 11 faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline with no technology currently in place, creating significant legal exposure and accessibility risk for the public it serves. Without a solution, the district remains vulnerable to civil liability and fails to meet equitable digital access standards required of public agencies.
The opportunity
The approaching compliance deadline creates clear, time-sensitive urgency to act within the current planning and budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place support expedited, compliant procurement—reducing administrative burden and enabling faster resolution of a confirmed legal and operational risk.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
ESD 11 operates under an active cybersecurity training mandate carrying felony-level penalties for non-compliance, with no identified solutions in place for endpoint management or password security. These gaps expose the district to significant legal, operational, and data-integrity risk across its public safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
FY 2026 EMPG and HSGP grant programs are aligned with cybersecurity initiatives, offering viable funding pathways with cooperative purchasing vehicles already confirmed. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes critical compliance gaps, reduces institutional liability, and strengthens the district's overall security posture.
