Austin is a much bigger market than Innisfil. The town has budgeted $100,000 for their pilot; if they hired their own SWE to build a clone, they'd probably need at least an extra $100k to pay for the staff to build/maintain it.

For this price,they could hire a couple of drivers with minivans and give them mobile phones. No need for an app in a small town.
