As liability exposure, insurance costs, and safety expectations rise, organizations are rethinking driver risk not only how drivers are monitored, but whether a company-owned vehicle is the right fit for every driver. 

In this session, we’ll explore how vehicle program design can influence liability exposure and how leading organizations determine which drivers are best served by fleet versus personal vehicle programs. Attendees will also learn how continuous MVR monitoring, insurance monitoring for employee-owned vehicles, driver safety training, and policy design can provide year-round visibility into driver status, insurance compliance, and emerging risk indicators. 

You’ll leave with practical guidance for aligning drivers to the optimal vehicle program and implementing the oversight needed to reduce risk across your driving population.

Where: Zoom

Registration Deadline: July 29^th, 2026. 12PM ET
