Through my research, despite limited resources, I've concluded that the Illinois Department of Innovation & Technology (DoIT), in collaboration with the Illinois State Police (ISP), developed a real-time emergency alert system to improve roadside safety. This initiative supports Scott's Law, which requires drivers to slow down or move over for emergency vehicles.
To ensure the system could reach dricers effectively, DoIT and ISP partnered with Google Public Sector, enabling GPS-based alerts through apps like Google maps and Waze. This integration allows drivers to recieve timely notifications about nearby emergency activity, helping prevent accidents and protect first responders.
The project known as "Move Over Illinois!" earned national recognition with a 2025 Government Experience Project Award, showcasing how cross-agency collaboration and smart technology can enhance public safety.
I plan to follow this same roadmap with my own initiative. To do so, I recognize the critical need to partner directly with the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) and Google Public Sector. Thier expertise and infrastructure will be essential in replicating and expanding the model to serve broader emergency response needs.
This approach will allow me to build on proven success while tailoring the system to new challenges and communities.

I am not lost, I found an article from last October in which the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology and Illinois State Police partnered up with Google Public Sector to develop a real-time GPS-based alert system. This alert system notifies drivers about nearby traffic stops. Here is the direct link.
This diection looks promising. I have partnered up with MERI AI to help strategize development and the future. I am in the process of creating media files from raw personal experiences on the road.
MERI AI validated REVRD's potential to further our technology to assist with the future growth of atonomous vehicles.

Note: Potential collaborations/partnerships. Google, Apple, Verizon, ArcGIS, HERE, etc.
Who do I approach?
Research is currently leading me to "What is Google Public Sector?" Since, REVRD, relates with the notion of wide spread adoption of assisting public and emergency response safety, this could be the right place.
Launched in 2022, it is a dedis cated division (subsidiary of Google Cloud) that partners with governement ad education institutions. They focs on secure cloud infrastaructure, AI innovation, and cybersecurity, helping agencies become more efficient to legacy technology.
Who is CEO of Google Public Sector?
Karen Dahut. According to a 15 minute interview at Google Next 2025, she explains how Google Public Sector is helping government agencies modernize with AI, secure cloud infrastructure, and advanced cybersecurit, while ensuring compliance with strict federal stadndards. Google Workspace under the GSA agreement has saved billions of dollars for the Government.
Why would Google Public Sector or any other mapping system be interested in this REVRD technology?
Becase it's not just and app, it's a public safety infrastructure layer. Just as Google Public Sector provides secure, AI-driven clould services across all agences. REVRD provides a unified emergency routing system that can be adopted government wide.
Action: Create log media on website and social platforms such as X for documentation and references of REVRD for an online thumbprint:
-My transparent process of approaching the State of Illinois and Google for partnership.
-Step-by-step strategy and experience.
-Build momentum and publicity for REVRD.

I met with multiple fire chiefs in the area gathering data for the app.
Developing middleware/extention/plugin bridge/layer to elimate manual "finger pressing"
Tagline "Downoad REVRD. Show your route. Up to 26x faster than sirens.
09-22-25
Admin requires access to edit/delete controllers.
09-07-25
Add voice recognition for hands-free address input
09-04-25
App interface large entry box for 3-digit responder code.
Code created by the relayer; each responder has thier own code.
Removes the need for RCG or user IDs (ID is tied to the 3-digit code)
09-03-25
Restrict login user ID to one device only.
Observation: Drivers today are distracted by tech; REVRD must counter this with better tools
Survey Concept: While navigating, if you saw an emergency route light up with an icon, would you avoid it or continue.
UI/UX notes:
Add" Are you sure?" confirmation for mission completion.
Enable facial recognition login format
When Admin creates a dispatcher account;swap "full name" and "username" fields.
Add Terms and Conditions
Admin Dashboard = Master Dashboard, streamlined with anyalytics across dispatchers, responders, and admins.
Straighten logo arrow
Scenario Example:
Dispatcher is already logged into dashboard --> generates 4 digit code.
Code + ID + Facial recognition required for access.
Dispatcher can assign multiple emergency destinations.
General Notes
27k fire departments manage 52k fire stations in the U.S.
Public adoption;People may welcome navigation awareness (less stress about where emergency vehicles are coming from.)
Video Idea: Side-by-side demo of dispatcher --> responder workflow
Technical Architecture (conceptual)
Dispatcher creates unique code.
Code shared with team (up to 10 members)
Team members use code + user ID + facial recognition.
Multi-step verification ensures only authorized users access the app.
Account numbers tiedd to emergency departments.
