2020 Leading Fleets Rankings Announced

Government Fleet announced the rankings for the top 20 of the 50 Leading Fleets and recognized the remaining award recipients at the Virtual Honors Celebration on June 16. The award is co-produced with the American Public Works Association (APWA).

Judges Brian Franklin, Sam Lamerato, Kelly Reagan, and Brad Salazar helped announce the fleet winners. Ford was the award sponsor, and Tony Gratson announced the No. 1 fleet winners.
