The City of Boise, Idaho, Fleet Services was named the No. 1 fleet among the Leading Fleets at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) today.
The operation was chosen the overall No. 1 fleet for showing leadership in various situations, including within the staff, with customers and within the community; staying efficient and competitive; overcoming challenges; and having a vision and direction for the fleet.
Craig Croner, CPFP, administrative services manager, and Dennis Falconer, CPFP, vehicle maintenance division manager, were present to accept the award on behalf of the fleet.
