Government Fleet announced the rankings for the top 20 of the 50 Leading Fleets and recognized the remaining award recipients at the Government Fleet Expo and Conference (GFX) on June 18. Judges Craig Croner, Brian Franklin, and Sam Lamerato were on stage to congratulate the fleet. Ford and Geotab were the award sponsors.
Fleets are judged on showing leadership with staff, with customers, and within the community; staying efficient and competitive; overcoming challenges; and having a vision and direction for the operation.
Government Fleet also named the No. 1 fleets in size categories — the No. 1 small fleet (499 or fewer assets) is the City of Dublin, Ohio, with 297 vehicles, and the No. 1 mid-size fleet (500-999 assets) is the City of Oceanside, Calif., with 544 units. Denver is the overall No. 1 as well as the No. 1 large fleet (1,000 or more assets), with more than 1,800 vehicles.
