These sweeping industry veterans, who have a combined 85+ years of experience, will provide info in a variety of areas. Bring your sweeping program into the 21st century with the presenters’ usable takeaways of how a well-designed, funded, and managed street-sweeping program can become more than just the leading BMP solution for nutrient removal that recent studies have shown it can be. Seminar will include the importance of removing sediments, heavy metals, toxics, tire particles and other microplastics from stormwater and why enhanced street sweeping is emerging as the leading BMP in that regard.    Also learn first-hand how to design your street sweeping program to become the ‘eyes' of your jurisdiction. In addition to data showing sweeping has now been proven to be the leading BMP for pavement-based pollutant removal prior to runoff, you will learn how sweeper-mounted cameras — coupled with GIS sensors, various computer applications, and AI technology — can automate ticketing and minimize the hassle of vehicle removal for your citizens. Automatically detect and ticket parked cars; identify low-hanging vegetation needing trimmed; and, identify abandoned vehicles, emerging potholes, downed signs and more. Provide auto-notification of appropriate City or County departments of the exact location where service is needed. Here’s your opportunity to see how your street sweeping program can be designed to utilize the correct sweeper technology, and to do so in the most   efficient, least cost manner possible.
