“In addition to allowing parents to track their kids’ routes and activity, the app will send notifications if the apps’ text-blocking feature is disabled, the app is deleted, the teen stops too fast (decelerating more than 7 mph per second), or the teen runs a stop sign. The app will keep reports and driving trips on record for six months. Iowa intends to foot the bill of $4 per month for the Web portal for any users between the ages of 14 and 17. Based on an estimate of 100,000 Iowa drivers that age, the Department of Transportation estimates that about 10,000 people will be able to use the app. This amounts to a cost of $192 per teen using the app until they turn 18, at total project cost of $480,000 per year.”
