Samsara

Hundreds of public sector leaders came together in Chicago at Go Beyond Public Sector 2026 this week, and one thing was clear: the future of government operations is connected. Across every session, one theme stood out. AI and connected operations are helping teams deliver safer, more efficient services for their communities. We also recognized the organizations already putting this into practice. Congratulations to our 2026 Connected Operations Award winners: 🏆 Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Excellence in Performance–Government 🏆 USD 457 Garden City Public Schools, Excellence in Performance–Education Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the leaders building safer, smarter, communities every day.

The future of public sector operations is making headlines. Cities and organizations are using AI and connected operations data to build safer, smarter communities. Here’s a look at the momentum ⬇️

Behind every road cleared, every pothole filled, and every emergency response—there are teams making it happen. From Memphis to Michigan to New Orleans, public sector workers are on the ground 24/7, responding in real time and keeping their communities moving. At Samsara, we’re proud to support the people behind these essential operations.

What a day at Go Beyond Public Sector! Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson welcomed leaders from cities, counties, and organizations across the country — all here to see how the latest in technology is shaping safer, more efficient communities. https://lnkd.in/ghrR3iV6

For cities, every road repair is a tradeoff: time, budget, and risk. Samsara helps take the guesswork out. We’ve developed an AI model that uses connected vehicles to detect potholes and track how fast they're deteriorating. Vehicles already on the road become sensors, feeding real-time data to a centralized dashboard so cities can prioritize repairs. Sean O'Kane covers how Samsara is turning fleet data into infrastructure intelligence and what it means for the future of road maintenance in TechCrunch. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gAPacDY5

There's a mom out there who starts her shift before sunrise. She’s on a job site, on a route, in a warehouse. Then goes home and starts her second one. Her job demands presence. She brings it every single day, for her team and her family. To every mom working on the frontlines: we see you, we thank you. Happy Mother's Day.
