REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — GreenRoad is offering a series of web seminars with guidance on how to reduce fuel usage and idling in fleets by addressing driving performance.

The series is part of a larger initiative at GreenRoad to support the Clean Cities Coalition and to help cities across the U.S. meet clean air objectives.

“Improving driving performance helps save lives and protects our environment by reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions,” said Tanya Roberts, senior vice president of marketing for GreenRoad. “We are committed to helping cities meet their clean air objectives by putting the best fleet drivers on the road.”

The web seminar series will provide insight and practical tips for executives as well as fleet, operation and safety directors. The offerings are as follows:

• How to Improve Your Drivers’ Performance in 60 Days or Less — Thursday, Sept. 15, at 11 a.m. PDT
• Creating Clean Cities: How Your Drivers Can Dramatically Reduce Fuel and Emissions — Thursday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. PDT
• Why Driving Performance Matters to Your Bottom Line: Green Driving ROI — Thursday, Oct. 13, at 11 a.m. PDT
• Why Even Good Drivers Need Performance Management — Thursday, Oct. 27, at 11 a.m. PDT

GreenRoad manufactures fleet driver performance and safety management solutions. Its driver Auto-Improvement Loop provides real-time, in-vehicle feedback and coaching so that drivers self-improve immediately with no management intervention.

GreenRoad’s systems also have safety, monetary and environmental benefits — fleets typically reduce crash costs by 50 percent, and reduce fuel usage and emissions by up to 10 percent, according to the company.
