Lycoming County commissioners approved a monthly Verizon subscription for a dash-cam and GPS system to be installed on a new curbside collection truck.

Gary, a county operations presenter, said the equipment costs $50.50 per month and provides both video and location tracking. He explained that in prior incidents footage helped resolve disputes and recover damages when an external driver damaged county equipment and later paid after being identified on video.

Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the subscription; the motion passed by voice vote with no roll-call recorded in the transcript. County staff said the dash-cam/GPS systems reduce liability and aid investigations; no additional funding source or contract length was specified during the discussion.
