Samsara Inc. has announced its inaugural Samsara Verified Safest Drivers list. 

This new program honors a select group of Samsara customers’ drivers with exceptional safety records and a commitment to operational excellence.

Elizabeth Martinez, a professional special needs school bus driver with Storer Transportation (whose CEO was our 2024 Contractor of the Year), is the lone school bus driver on this year’s list. 

“Samsara helped me become a safer and more confident driver,” Martinez said. “When I’m on the road, it’s not just about me, I’m making sure students get to and from school safely. The AI Dash Cam is there to help keep us protected. It's an honor to be recognized for my driving skills, and for doing what I love.”

Samsara AI Dash Cams are designed with the driver experience in mind, acting as a partner in the cab that helps them operate safely and confidently, the company said. With real-time alerts, the AI Dash Cam helps drivers react to hazards and hone their skills. The Samsara platform also provides insights for driver recognition, enabling managers to celebrate safe driving streaks, share personalized kudos, and more. 

“The Samsara Verified Safest Drivers list is a perfect way to celebrate the drivers who are setting a new standard for safety on the roads,” said Robert Stobaugh, COO, GTM, at Samsara. “We appreciate the hard work they do every day to keep our communities moving, and we are proud to provide the technology that supports them best.”

Each driver on the list has traveled thousands of miles with the fewest safety incidents among Samsara’s customers, avoiding risky behaviors like sudden braking, unsafe turns, following too closely, or driving without a seatbelt.
