In June, the United Services Automobile Association (USAA), named four of its major suppliers as recipients of its inaugural Strategic Supplier Excellence Awards. One of two USAA Innovation Awards was given to one of our carrier partners, AT&T, in relation to the Teen Safe Driving pilot program – a program based on WebTech Wireless’ remote vehicle management technology.

USAA’s Teen Safe Driving pilot program relies on Quadrant® in-vehicle Locators and web-based vehicle management software to allow parents to monitor their child’s vehicle usage and driving behaviour. By giving parents the tools to mentor their young drivers, the program hopes to improve overall safety and security through better driving habits, reduce vehicle usage at high-risk times, and ultimately lower the incidences of accidents and traffic violations.

USAA, AT&T and WebTech Wireless worked together to ensure that the goals of the pilot program were realized – to enhance safety and security as well as provide an innovative insurance product that meets USAA customer needs. WebTech Wireless is pleased to be a part of this program and congratulates AT&T on its success.

USAA is a Fortune 500 financial services company offering banking, investing, and insurance to people and families that serve, or served, in the United States military. In 2009, it had 7.4 million members.
