MakeWay Safety partners with Waze to alert motorists that Emergency Vehicles are stopped on the side of the road, which supports the "Slow Down and Move Over" intiative saving the lives of First Responders on the scene of a roadside incident. Our hardware and software is installed in emergency vehicles, which are connected to our cloud platform that transmits the alerts to Waze and other navigation & alerting platforms as soon as emergency lights are activated. Currently Waze on reports on stopped or slow moving vehicles. We need this to be an audible alert every time an emergency vehicle is on scene at an incident alerting drivers to "Slow Down and Move Over" to make way for our First Responders and save lives.
Our technology also has the capability to alert motorists of emergency vehicles that are responding to a call and moving through traffic at higher speeds, but this will require our data feed with Waze to be updated in real-time to alert drivers as they approach intersections or that are in the path of an emergency vehicle. As First Responders implement our technology, Waze receives an a validated emergency vehicle alert from an authorized emergency agency (Fire, Police, EMS, DOT or others authorized like a tow truck on an accident scene or on the roadway to tow a vehicle). Waze can be the leader in Public Safety by fully implementing this technology with partners like MakeWay Safety.

MakeWay Safety currently partners with Waze to alert motorists that emergency vehicles are stopped on the side of the road, which supports the "Slow Down and Move Over" initiatives across our country focused on saving the lives of First Responders on the scene of a roadside incident. Our hardware and software is installed in an emergency vehicle, which is connected to our cloud platform that transmits an alert to Waze and other navigation & alerting platforms as soon as emergency lights are activated. Currently Waze reports only on stopped or slow moving vehicles.
