It’s been a phenomenal experience to see the app improving our residents’ quality of life; people are really embracing it! And it’s not just a user-friendly tool for motorists. It’s also a vital tool for first responders to help them efficiently respond to an emergency by letting them know if the crossing is accessible. … Now that Gresham Smith has developed the technology and the app is working with a high degree of accuracy, I feel like this is just the beginning. In fact, we’d like to see this same technology used across our parish and across the region in the future.Jennifer Van Vrancken Jefferson Parish Councilwoman, Council District 5
