18 Plan Component: Telematics Fleet Monitor How it works: Top Of The Class AGA Motor Vehicle Safety Achievement 18

19 Plan Component: Telematics Fleet Monitor Available Telematics Data: Real-time data Vehicle location Vehicle speed Maintenance schedule Historical reports on all of the above Alarms for various conditions Speeding Idling Leaving service area Top Of The Class AGA Motor Vehicle Safety Achievement 19

20 Plan Component: Telematics Fleet Monitor Example of Alarm Conditions: Top Of The Class AGA Motor Vehicle Safety Achievement 20

21 Plan Component: Telematics Fleet Monitor Telematics Guiding Principals Defined Increase Safety: Speed Access to information Workforce awareness Coaching and education Increase Fleet Utilization Vehicle utilization Vehicle optimization Work planning Environmental Stewardship: Reduce fuel consumption and air emissions Reduce idling Route planning Increase Employee Knowledge Train and engage employees Top Of The Class AGA Motor Vehicle Safety Achievement 21

22 Plan Component: Telematics Fleet Monitor What Telematics Is: Opportunity to recommit everyone to safety. Tool to assist AVANGRID to provide best in class service at the lowest cost. Chance to incorporate 21st century technology and drive AVANGRID to be the best in the business. Ability for employees to be aware of their driving habits.
