Blue Light Maps
Empowering the frontline.
About
Blue Light Maps is the navigation solution designed for frontline emergency service workers. As local authorities place a growing emphasis on promoting active travel, traffic restrictions on private motor vehicles are increasing exponentially.While emergency services have legal exemptions to most restrictions, generic navigation solutions lack an understanding of the rules that emergency service drivers can break. Consequently, these solutions often result in longer routes than necessary.At Blue Light Maps, our mission is to empower the frontline with optimised routes and accurate location data, allowing emergency services to improve response times and outcomes.
