Iwate Prefecture: "Drive recorder etc. introduction promotion grant (operation management collaboration type)"

This Iwate Prefecture subsidy program promotes the introduction of dashcams and operation management-linked devices in commercial vehicles to enhance safe driving management. Eligible applicants include transportation, construction, taxi, and related businesses with principal offices or branch offices in Iwate Prefecture. The program subsidizes installation costs of dashcams, GPS-enabled fleet management systems, and collision avoidance devices that integrate with operational management platforms, typically covering 50-70% of expenses with per-vehicle caps of hundreds of thousands of yen (see official guidelines for exact amounts). Applicants must have business track records and commit to installation and operation in Iwate; combined subsidies from other public sources are prohibited. This initiative aligns with prefectural priorities for workplace safety and traffic accident prevention, strengthening competitiveness of local SMEs.
