Streamling Flat Tire to Fast Fix in Texas

A citizen, we'll her call Susan, was driving down I-35 in Central Texas as the sun set on a warm windy evening. Her routine drive came to an abrupt halt when she was suddenly sidelined by a flat tire.

Under stress, Susan immediately pulled over and dialed 911. The dispatcher wasted no time, sending a non-emergency link that enabled Susan to request instant roadside service via the Drivers Premier and RapidSOS partnership. 

The process:

  • The dispatcher sent Susan a secure, self-service link via SMS through RapidSOS UNITE.
  • She quickly entered details on their location, vehicle and payment. 
  • Drivers Premiers immediately offered the job to eligible local service providers.
  • The best provider was selected based on a balanced assessment of quality, low cost, and estimated time of arrival.
  • A service technician arrived and helped replace the tire within an hour.

This is a prime example of how the Drivers Premier and RapidSOS partnership frees up crucial 911 lines for emergencies while still providing seamless, rapid assistance for routine situations.
