Alcohol Countermeasure Systems Corp Receives Grant from Ontario's Ministry of
Economic Development and Trade
These sensors are the key component to alcohol interlocks - the breath alcohol testers that require drivers to provide a breath sample prior to starting their vehicle. Alcohol interlocks are commonly used in compliance monitoring for convicted impaired drivers or for commercial fleets as a pro-active safety measure.
The grant, combined with the ACS portion will mean 105 new jobs at the company over the next four years as well as related research projects facilitated at local universities.
