If you were using the "normal" APRS frequency, but if you set up your own iGate, you could run it in the public safety band, couldn't you? (If you had a frequency licensed and coordinated of course.)
Alternately, you could get a business band license and run it there. In that case, each individual doesn't need a license, just an org.
