Fifty-two percent of respondents reported budget increases this year, down from 56% in 2016 and 53% in 2015. In 2014, 49% reported budget increases. Those reporting fleet budget increases said they needed to cover increased cost of maintenance, increased service, a gas tax, increased employee salaries and benefits, and restored funding for personnel vacancies that were defunded after the recession. Those who reported budget decreases cited decreased services due to outsourcing or elimination of service to a department as well as fuel price decreases.
