Samsara Announces Inaugural “Samsara Verified Safest Drivers” List, Honoring Global Top Performers
September 15, 2025
SAN FRANCISCO (BUSINESS WIRE)—Samsara Inc. ("Samsara") (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations® Platform, today announced the inaugural Samsara Verified Safest Drivers list. The new program honors a select group of its customers’ drivers with exceptional safety records, celebrating a commitment to safety and operational excellence in a variety of industries, including transportation, construction, field services, and the public sector.
Each driver has traveled thousands of miles with the fewest safety incidents among Samsara’s customers, avoiding risky behaviors like sudden braking, unsafe turns, following too closely, or driving without a seatbelt. The honorees represent varied industries, regions, and routes, but all share an unwavering commitment to safety.
Elizabeth Martinez, a professional special needs school bus driver with Storer Transportation, is one of the drivers on this year’s list. “Samsara helped me become a safer and more confident driver,” Martinez said. “When I’m on the road, it’s not just about me, I’m making sure students get to and from school safely. The AI Dash Cam is there to help keep us protected. It's an honor to be recognized for my driving skills, and for doing what I love.”
Samsara AI Dash Cams are designed with the driver experience in mind, acting as a partner in the cab that helps them operate safely and confidently. With real-time alerts, the AI Dash Cam helps drivers react to hazards and hone their skills. The Samsara platform also provides insights for driver recognition, enabling managers to celebrate safe driving streaks, share personalized kudos, and more. Customers use Samsara’s advanced all-in-one safety solution to build stronger safety cultures and create impact. In its last fiscal year alone, Samsara partnered with customers to help prevent more than 250,000 accidents.
“The Samsara Verified Safest Drivers list is a perfect way to celebrate the drivers who are setting a new standard for safety on the roads,” said Robert Stobaugh, Chief Operating Officer, GTM, at Samsara. “We appreciate the hard work they do every day to keep our communities moving, and we are proud to provide the technology that supports them best.”
