772 McCain’s Backpack Cabinet Giveaway offers traffic agencies within the United States and Canada the opportunity to win a free deployment of McCain’s smallest ATC Cabinet.
McCain will work with the winner to select a single suitable location, as well as to help prepare and field deploy one cabinet.
The Backpack Cabinet delivers the same advanced safety features as larger ATC Cabinets in a housing that stands just 25" tall and weighs less than 55 lb, all without sacrificing performance.
8097 GRIDSMART Technologies has also donated a camera and processor to the giveaway, so the winning agency will now also receive a complete GRIDSMART system, including the company's iconic Bell Camera and GS2 Processor.
The contest is open until 23 September.
