Description (French)
En août 2022, Alertdriving a lancé un programme de formation des conducteurs de véhicules de location (VFH V1.0) autorisés par la ville de Toronto. À ce jour, nous avons formé 10 000 conducteurs et prévoyons en former 25 000 autres en 2023. Cela générera des revenus pour Alertdriving d’environ 3,0 millions de dollars d’août 2022 à décembre 2023. Il y a 299 autres villes en Amérique du Nord qui pourraient exiger la certification. Le programme actuel n’est pas extensible et nécessite : — Suite d’administration des surveillants dans le système de gestion des permis d’Alertdriving-efficacité - examen/test par appareil mobile sans avoir à se présenter en personne dans un centre d’examen d’Alertdriving-efficacité et exigence du marché — permettre l’attribution de cours individuellement assignables-revenus supplémentaires.
