ABOUT DRIVERNOTIFIER™ 

Utilizing the latest in smartphone app technology, DriverNotifier™ is a groundbreaking new public safety service designed to facilitate: (1) non-emergency communication and conflict resolution between drivers of unattended vehicles registered with DriverNotifier™ that are causing a problem or nuisance and any member of the general public wishing to contact them concerning their vehicle, and (2) emergency communication and crisis mitigation between first responders and emergency contacts for drivers and/or passenger(s) incapacitated or detained as the result of illness, injury or arrest while operating or traveling in a vehicle enrolled with DriverNotifier™. 

Personal, commercial and government vehicle owners and fleet managers can enroll any number of cars, vans, trucks and motorcycles at the official DriverNotifier™ website for a modest annual enrollment fee per vehicle.  At no additional cost, any number of drivers and passengers associated with one or more DriverNotifier™-enrolled vehicles can enter their personal contact, emergency contact and personal medical information at the official DriverNotifier™ website. Moreover, DriverNotifier™-enrolled drivers and passengers assigned to a particular DriverNotifier™-enrolled vehicle can be changed with the press of a button.   

According to DriverNotifier™ Chief Strategy Officer, Andrew Lewis, “DriverNotifier’s non-emergency communication and conflict resolution service was born of my frustration with the daily scourge of unattended vehicle nuisance incidents throughout New York City, including, but certainly not limited to, double-parked vehicles blocking vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic, often triggering seemingly incessant horn blowing and shouting matches.”  DriverNotifier’s emergency communication service stems from his time as Assistant Commissioner of Community Affairs with the New York City Police Department.  “It is shocking how time consuming it can be for first responders to contact next of kin and access lifesaving medical information on behalf of severely ill or injured drivers and passengers.  These delays really can mean the difference between life and death,” Lewis said.     

Check out the attached easy-to-follow flowchart that simply explains exactly how this innovative new service works.  

A December 2020 national marketing survey conducted by Hatch Ventures LLC determined that a very promising 68 percent of survey respondents would enroll or consider enrolling one or more vehicles with DriverNotifier™.  Moreover, an earlier marketing survey also conducted by Hatch Ventures LLC found that 92 percent of survey respondents would use or consider using the free, official DriverNotifier™ smartphone app to call or text the operator of an unattended vehicle causing a problem or nuisance.  Further, according to Lewis, “the first responder community has been enormously supportive of DriverNotifier’s emergency communication and crisis mitigation function.”   

With minimal business competition, modest pricing and over 250 million registered vehicles in the United States, DriverNotifier™ has enormous market penetration potential and, consequently, the very real potential to serve as a valuable new nuisance abatement and public safety enhancement tool for first responders across the country, including, but not necessarily limited to, police officers, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians and other medical professionals.       

We are very respectfully requesting the first responder community, friends of the first responder community and the general public to consider contributing to this exciting and innovative public safety campaign to fund the following start up costs:  (1) DriverNotifier™ website and database development; and (2) DriverNotifier™ app development.

In exchange for your contribution now, upon successful launch of DriverNotifier, you will receive immediate authorization to enroll one or more personal and/or commercial vehicles with DriverNotifier for one (1) or more years, depending on your contribution amount, at no charge.  Regardless of the amount you contribute now, you will save a considerable sum of money over the introductory enrollment rates we expect to offer the general population when DriverNotifier™ goes live.  

ABOUT ANDREW D. LEWIS, FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL, DRIVERNOTIFIER™  

Andrew D. Lewis is the founder and Chief Strategy Officer of DriverNotifier.  From 1989 to 2006, he held a number of progressively responsible criminal justice and public health positions in New York City government, including, but not limited to, the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice Coordination, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and the Police Department. 

During this period, Lewis designed and executed critical incident response protocols; coordinated and partnered with city, state and federal agencies; conducted strategic planning and program needs assessments; designed, implemented and evaluated health, education, social service, community outreach and conflict resolution programs; instituted performance management accountability systems; and managed and trained personnel. 

Between the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice Coordination and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), Lewis managed $88 million in cost- and performance-based contracts with substance abuse prevention and treatment, ex-offender, conflict resolution and victim service providers throughout the city.  At the DOHMH, he organized and facilitated emergency planning sessions to develop proposals for the provision of short and long-term mental health and substance abuse intervention services to first responders and their families, DOHMH personnel, as well as the larger New York City community, in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.

At the New York City Police Department, he researched, drafted and promulgated critical incident response protocols for community affairs officers responding to emergencies involving fatalities, serious injuries, community unrest, or the potential for community unrest.  He assisted in coordinating and executing the Office of Community Affairs’ response to a number of critical incidents throughout the City.  Lewis also supervised the design and implementation of an innovative fax and email notification system that allowed the Department to disseminate accurate and timely information to community leaders regarding public safety and quality of life issues.

Mr. Lewis earned a master’s degree in public policy and administration, with a concentration in advanced management and policy analysis, from Columbia University in 1995.  He earned a bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology and urban studies from The Colorado College in 1989.  Lewis currently maintains a personal business coaching and conflict resolution practice, Andrew D. Lewis Coaching and Mediation LLC, and serves as principal of Hatch Ventures LLC, an incubator for new business products and services.

Armed with powerful connections to our nation's best and brightest leaders in public safety, public health and social media technology, with your support, Mr. Lewis is more than equipped and excited to lead the successful implementation of DriverNotifier™.     

Thank you so much for your support!
