  • Unified program management: A single view of all transportation needs, with integrated compliance, safety, and policy oversight. 
  • Seamless scalability: Reduced administrative burden and enhanced scalability via integrated technology platforms and shared insights. 

“Mobility today is about meeting workers where they are and giving companies the tools to manage that complexity with ease,” said Vanessa Brangwyn, Chief Revenue Officer of Motus. “Together with Element, we are eliminating silos and helping companies achieve greater agility while putting driver experience and efficiency at the center.” 

The partnership will also provide:

BOSTON, Mass., April 24, 2025Motus, the leading expert in vehicle reimbursement and driver risk mitigation, today was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Transportation Product and Service category. The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. In the 23rd Annual American Business Awards®, over 3,600 nominations were submitted by organizations of all sizes and across nearly every industry. The winners were selected by a panel of more than 250 professionals from around the world. 

Motus Protect offers a central solution for employers to proactively mitigate risks associated with employees who drive as part of their job. Featuring Auto Insurance Monitoring, Motor Vehicle Record Monitoring and Driver Training, Protect collectively provides the essentials for due diligence and risk management.  

Beyond the benefits of centralization, Protect breaks from the common industry standard of bi-annual coverage checks with a more active approach to insurance monitoring. By flagging and alerting any potential changes or lapses in coverage that can occur over the course of a policy term–not just at the term’s end date, Motus delivers up to 6x faster visibility. 

“Being recognized with a Stevie Award in the Transportation Product and Service is a testament to our team’s commitment to innovation and customer impact,” said Jonathan Steele, Director of Product Management at Motus. “Motus Protect was designed to help organizations simplify driver risk management using the same platform as their vehicle reimbursement program. From HR leaders to mobile employees, Motus empowers customers to replace risk and administrative complexity with trust, confidence, and personalized protection.” 

In recognizing Motus Protect, the judges emphasized its role in today’s mobility landscape: “Motus Protect is a vital risk management solution addressing rising insurance costs and corporate liability. Strong adoption rates and efficiency gains reinforce its value.” That sentiment was echoed by Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller, who noted, “Organizations across the United States continue to demonstrate resilience and innovation. The 2025 Stevie winners have helped drive that success through their innovation, persistence, and hard work.” 

Employers are unfortunately one catastrophic event away from significant financial losses and damage to their corporate reputation. While never reduced completely, organizations are looking for ways to uncover and proactively address liabilities from employees that drive personal cars for work. Motus Protect presents a distinct driver risk mitigation advantage by giving companies a wide range of configurable building blocks to meet their risk tolerance. 

Details about The American Business Awards and the list of 2025 Stevie winners are available at www.StevieAwards.com/ABA.
