The anticipated benefit of this initiative is statewide E9-1-1 coverage that reduces the number of transfers of 9-1-1 calls, reduces the amount of infrastructure required statewide, promotes cost savings from resource sharing; facilitates interoperability and resiliency for the receipt of 9-1-1 calls, reduces the number of PSAP’s statewide, and promotes long term cost savings.
