State Farm Arena becomes first sports and entertainment venue in US to achieve health security verification from Sharecare

ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Atlanta Hawks today announced that the team’s home venue, State Farm Arena, is the first sports and entertainment venue in the country to successfully become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED®, addressing the critical need to establish confidence with sports fans and live event attendees as well as players, performers, and employees in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. This verification process and platform was developed by digital health company Sharecare, with the support of CAA ICON, the world’s leading owners’ representative and strategic management consulting firm for public and private sports and entertainment facility owners/operators, and Oak View Group (OVG), a global advisory, development, and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industries.

«Based on the combined expertise of our partners at Sharecare in the health industry along with the knowledge of both CAA ICON and OVG in the complexities of superior live event venue operations, this verification gives us added confidence that we are doing everything possible to protect the health and safety of all that enter State Farm Arena for work or play,» said Steve Koonin, CEO of the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena.

Going far beyond basic facility standards and establishing a consistent global baseline for health security, Sharecare’s solution requires that live sports and entertainment venues verify their health protocols on an ongoing basis across more than 140 expert-validated standards and over 600 checkpoints, including health and hygiene protocols, air and water management, physical distancing, the attendee experience, and health safety communication with patrons and employees. Additionally, participating venues have the option to track daily employee health screening results and provide relevant tools for fans and visitors including clinically validated health screeners and information and updates on that facility’s guidelines. This health security verification also comes with an easily identifiable «seal of approval» – the Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® badge – for stadiums, arenas, and live event venues to display on their official websites and on-property.

«For the last several years, we have worked closely with the Atlanta Hawks on our shared vision to improve the well-being of all Atlantans, and – for a myriad of reasons – the pandemic has required us to approach this differently than before,» said Jeff Arnold, founder and CEO of Sharecare. «In addition to supporting Hawks fans through the Sharecare app, we are proud to work with State Farm Arena to give people confidence that their in-arena experiences are safe and secure. We commend the Hawks and State Farm Arena on their health security verification as well as for taking a leadership position among sport and live event venues to create a culture of accountability as we work toward recovery.»

In November 2020, Sharecare debuted a strategic partnership with Forbes Travel Guide to empower the hospitality industry to mitigate the operational and health safety challenges introduced by the pandemic and restore confidence among guests and travel planners. Since then, more than 100 hotels and resorts across the globe have become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide. Additionally, Internova Travel Group selected Sharecare and Forbes Travel Guide to validate the procedures and protocols at more than 50,000 hotels booked through its systems, each of which Internova expects to be Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide by the end of Q1 2022.

Lytx 2020 «State of the Data» Report Identifies Key Areas of Risk for Trucking Fleets

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lytx^®, a leading provider of machine vision- and artificial intelligence-powered video telematics, analytics, safety, and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and field service fleets, has released its third annual «State of the Data» report focused on trucking fleets. With data captured from fleets of all sizes and types within the trucking industry, Lytx’s 2020 report reveals the riskiest states, cities and roadways in <span…

«2020 was an unforgettable year with unprecedented challenges for the trucking industry. With the continued demands facing fleets and drivers, it has never been more important for us to identify and share key areas of risk and opportunities to help improve their safety,» said Dave Riordan, executive vice president, Lytx enterprise business. «We use our dataset – the largest and most accurate of its kind – to identify and address top areas of driving risk, and to provide trucking fleets with insights they can put into action quickly to improve their safety.»

Identifying Riskiest Areas Across the Country

Lytx captured over 10 million risky driving incidents among trucking fleets in 2020. From all those incidents, Lytx examined single-square-mile road segments using its proprietary risk scoring system and found the following areas in the U.S. had the highest concentration of risk:

Allentown, Pa.: Interstate 78, East of W. Emaus Avenue
Lambsburg, Va.: Interstate 77, near Old Pipers Gap Road
Albuquerque, N.M.: Interstate 40, near Coyote Springs Road SE
Durham, N.C.: Interstate 85, near University Station Road
Lebanon, N.J.: Interstate 78, near Cokesbury Road

As in past years, most of the identified riskiest road segments are near interchanges, construction zones, or on/off ramps, which increase driving risk. According to Lytx’s risk score system, these five road segments, on average, are 152 times riskier than the average road segment in Lytx’s trucking-industry database.

«We know sudden lane changes and shifts in driving speed surrounding interchanges can create a more volatile driving environment and more opportunity for dangerous incidents,» said Del Lisk, Lytx’s vice president of safety services. «We urge fleets and drivers to be aware of the increased risk in these areas and level-up their caution and defensive driving in these situations, whether you are passing through one of the segments featured here or any other highway interchange.»

Areas of Pennsylvania, and Allentown in particular, have been featured on this list in past years, with the top two riskiest roads in 2019 and top three riskiest roads in 2018.

That said, Pennsylvania improved in the overall state rankings in 2020. The riskiest states for trucking fleets in in 2020 were:

California
Washington
Texas
Oregon
Georgia

These states overall were three times riskier than the 45 other states in Lytx’s nationwide footprint.

Lytx also examined its data in 60-by-60-square-mile areas and, for the second year in a row, identified Chicago as the riskiest U.S. city for trucking. Compared to the next riskiest city, Dallas, Chicago was 23% more risky, likely related to its role as a major transportation hub for routes in all directions.

«With a wealth of driving data paired with unmatched analytic capabilities, Lytx is able to determine driving risk and drill that down into specific cities or even intersections,» said Lisk. «While we know trucking routes may not always be flexible, we encourage managers and coaches to consider these areas of concentrated risk in supporting their drivers to approach every situation with a proactive, safety-oriented mindset.»

Riskiest Days and Times for Truck Drivers

Lytx found slight shifts in the days of the week and times with the highest prevalence of collisions and near-collisions. From 2018 to 2020, Lytx identified the following:

	2020	2019	2018
Day of week with most collisions	Tuesday	Thursday	Wednesday
Day of week with fewest collisions	Sunday	Monday	Monday
Time of day with most near collisions	Morning (5:00 a.m.- noon)	Morning (5:00 a.m. – noon)	Afternoon (noon – 5:00 p.m.)

«With 24/7 demand for deliveries necessitated by the pandemic, we’ve observed a shift in the days of the week with the most and least collisions,» said Lisk. «Compared to past years, fleets may have more routes and deliveries early in the week, rather than starting the week slowly. This could be a factor in Sunday having the fewest collisions and Tuesday having the most collisions.»

Trends in Risky Behavior

Even with increased demand in 2020, Lytx trucking clients showed strong improvements in several key, high-risk behaviors, including:

Behavior (in order of most improved)	Improvements from 2019
Late response	-77%
Following distance: ≥ 2 sec to < 3 sec	-51%
Red light	-38%
Unsafe lane change	-38%
Drowsy driving	-29%

Compared to other fleet types, trucking showed strengths in several areas, including:

Behavior	Comparative Frequency*
Loose object in cab	68% less often
Distraction related to electronic device	59% less often
Positive recognition, which occurs when the driver had a close call that wasn’t a result of their own actions and prevented potentially significant consequences by exercising safe driving practices and/or when the driver demonstrated courteous driving	33% more often

*As compared to Lytx’s other client segments: waste, distribution, transit, government, construction, concrete, utilities and field services.

«Trucking professionals are clearly working hard to proactively approach safety to protect themselves and the communities they serve,» said Lisk. «For drivers spending long hours on the road and driving longer distances than other transportation-adjacent industries, this is a remarkable feat.»

Lytx’s data also found these risky behaviors increasing among truck fleets:

Behavior (in order of frequency)	Change from 2019
Posted speed violation	Increasing
Incomplete stop at stop sign	Increasing
Failed to stop at stop sign	Increasing

«We share this information as an opportunity to shed light on the areas where drivers, managers and coaches should pay special attention in order to approach safe driving proactively,» said Riordan. «From recognizing when and where truck drivers may face more risky behaviors or higher collision rates to understanding exactly which behaviors are proving challenging for the industry, we hope these unique insights from Lytx can help the trucking industry stay informed as drivers head out on the roads this year. We maintain our commitment to helping fleets raise the bar for safety as we continue to innovate our machine vision and artificial intelligence capabilities to uncover even further insights about driving risk in the trucking industry.»

About the Data
These insights were derived from Lytx’s proprietary database of trucking driving data from 2019 and 2020, including more than 10 million risky truck driving events captured last year. For comparisons across industries, Lytx calculated behavior averages from its global database, which contains driving data from utilities, distribution, concrete, construction, services, transit, government and waste industries. Lytx maintains the fastest-growing proprietary database of professional driving data in the world, currently surpassing 120 billion miles of driving data. The data is anonymized, normalized and in instances of behavior prevalence, is generalizable to trucking fleets at large.

About Lytx
Lytx is a leading provider of machine vision and artificial intelligence-powered video telematics, analytics, safety, and productivity solutions for commercial, public sector, and field service fleets. Our solutions harness the power of video to empower drivers and fleets to be safer and more efficient, productive and profitable so they can thrive in today’s competitive environment.

TrueCar Forecasts 16.0 Million New Vehicle Sales for 2021

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — TrueCar, Inc. projects 16 million new light vehicle sales for 2021, an increase of 10% from the previous year. Retail sales are expected to reach 13.9 million, an increase of 9.6% from 2020.

…

«The year 2020 was a challenging one for the automotive industry and the economy at large, but the recovery came faster than most expected, providing strong momentum and pent-up demand going into 2021,» said Nick Woolard, Lead Industry Analyst at TrueCar. «Retail demand is healthy and will remain the driving force for total vehicle sales in 2021. Fleet sales will also increase, but at a much slower pace, due to the uncertainty surrounding travel.»

Q4 2020 saw record-breaking average transaction prices for new vehicles, as incentives eased and consumers opted for more expensive SUVs and trucks. The trend towards more expensive vehicles continues in 2021. Average transaction prices are projected to increase 3.1% year over year to $37,925. In previous years, the average transaction increased roughly 4% year over year.

«As the K-shaped recovery takes shape in 2021, we expect higher-income households, who have not been financially impacted by the pandemic, to continue making new vehicle purchases,» added Woolard. «Continued trends towards large trucks, SUVs, and a growing array of electric vehicles as well as additional safety and technology content will lead to even higher average transaction prices in 2021.»

Average interest rates for new vehicles in 2020 were 4.74%, and interest rates for used vehicles were 8.47%. TrueCar forecasts that interest rates for 2021 will remain similar to those we saw in Q4 2020.

«Car shoppers in 2021 can expect interest rates for new and used vehicles to remain at the low levels we saw towards the latter part of 2020 with support from the Federal Reserve,» said Alain Nana-Sinkam, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at TrueCar. «The Fed is signaling continued support into 2021 as the U.S. economy recovers from the pandemic. The low interest rates are likely to stay at least through the end of the year.»

	2019 ACTUAL	2020 ACTUAL	2021 FORECAST	YOY%
TOTAL SALES	17.0 M	14.6 M	16.0 M	10%

RETAIL	13.8 M	12.7 M	13.9 M	9.6%

FLEET	3.2 M	1.8 M	2.1 M	12.6%

AVERAGE TRANSACTION PRICE	$35,317	$36,786	$37,925	3.1%

INCENTIVES	$3,801	$3,937	$3,876	-1.6%

(Note: This forecast is based solely on TrueCar, Inc.’s analysis of industry sales trends and conditions and is not a projection of TrueCar, Inc.’s operations.)
