KANSAS CITY, MO – Since the program’s launch in September 2006, 41 fleet professionals from the U.S. and Canada have earned credentials as Certified Public Fleet Professionals (CPFP) from the American Public Works Association (APWA).

Four professionals recently passed the CPFP exam in February and seven passed in April.

“CPFP certification is a hallmark of excellence for fleet professionals,” said APWA President Larry Frevert. “We are excited to see the program grow and continue to attract fleet professionals striving to maintain excellent public works services in their communities.”

 Recently Certified Public Fleet Professionals include:

- Alan Brown, fleet manager, City of Littleton, Colo.

The role of the public fleet operation has evolved over the years from providing high-quality, low-cost repair service to asset management and related business functions. The Public Fleet Professional Certification program is designed to ensure individual competency and provide the public works industry with recognized hiring and promotion standards.
