Background and Discussion:
On February 26, 2026, Commissioners Court unanimously directed Harris County Universal Services (HCUS) to work with OCA and OMB to develop the fiscal requirement for implementation of the countywide Enterprise Telematics Solution.
HCUS collaborated with OMB to develop the fiscal requirements as directed. HCUS seeks authorization to implement Telematics Enterprise Solution, a countywide operational initiative designed to improve efficiency, safety, and service delivery.
