Rubicon Technologies, Inc. announced that it has entered into a five-year smart city partnership with the City of Phoenix, Arizona (the City) to digitize and improve efficiencies across the City's solid waste collection operation. The agreement will put Rubicon's smart city software at the heart of Phoenix's Public Works Department, providing waste and recycling collection to more than 418,000 locations weekly. Rubicon will help the City digitize its solid waste collection operation, transitioning from largely manual and paper-based processes to using tablets running Rubicon's software in Phoenix's solid waste and recycling fleet of more than 300 vehicles.

The City will use Rubicon's technology to streamline collection services, and reduce missed pickups and unnecessary go-backs. With digital routes, the City will be able to closely monitor route performance, identify areas where waste and recycling services can be improved, and make data-driven decisions to enhance route efficiency and better serve the Phoenix community. RUBICONSmartCity??

is the smart way for cities, counties, and other municipalities to manage heavy-duty fleets. It is a proprietary, cloud-based technology suite that helps local governments run faster, smarter, and more effective waste, recycling, and heavy-duty municipal fleet operations. It helps government-owned fleets improve neighborhood streetscapes by monitoring vehicle health, improving driver behavior, and ensuring that materials are collected efficiently.

The results: fewer vehicle accidents, less road wear, and safer communities. The addition of Phoenix to the RUBICONSmartCity platform follows a string of new city customer announcements for Rubicon, including the cities of Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and Denver, as well as almost a dozen mid-sized cities that were added to the Company's municipal customer list in the first quarter of 2023. More than 100 cities across the United States have deployed Rubicon's technology to improve core municipal operations, including eight of the top 20 U.S. cities by population.
