NORFOLK, VA – Several cities across the United States are implementing CCG Systems, Inc.’s FASTER Fleet Management System. The California cities of Burbank, Clovis, and Richmond are implementing the system, which is a real-time, work order-based system that will help the cities manage an average fleet size of 700-plus.
