BOISE, Idaho -- (Business Wire)

Idaho’s Driver Record Dashboard has been enhanced to provide increased convenience for companies that employ Idaho drivers. As the nation’s first service of its kind, the enhancements make it easier for businesses to comply with federal requirements and mitigate risk.

Idaho businesses can now build an unlimited roster of employee licenses to monitor by electronically copying and pasting Idaho driver’s license numbers into the application in groups of up to 1,000. The previous version required entering each driver's name, license number, and/or birthdate manually.

The new version also provides an internal audit tool that allows businesses to track roster changes, including who made the changes as well as the times and dates of the changes.

The online dashboard provides a convenient and much faster alternative to the process of looking up driver’s license records manually. In addition, the service is designed to increase public safety and help companies reduce risk, as it flags monitored driver records with convictions or suspensions so organizations can keep high-liability, potentially dangerous drivers off the road.

Driver records are checked automatically twice a month for new convictions and suspensions. Flagged licenses, as well as medical certification issue/expiration dates and commercial driver’s license expiration dates, are available for immediate, secure viewing by authorized personnel within each participating organization via individual usernames and passwords.

The Idaho Transportation Department partnered with Boise-based Access Idaho to build and maintain the service. The partnership operates under a self-funded model in which no tax dollars or state funds were used.
