How does your public sector fleet compare to others?

New for this year, the survey lists the title of the person overseeing fleet and the services fleets insource, with about one-third of respondents saying they perform preventive maintenance and repair for other agencies. Additional information collected includes whether a fleet is an internal service fund, whether it has ASE Blue Seal certification, and if it offers tools and uniforms to technicians.
In June and July, Government Fleet magazine solicited responses to an annual survey from its readership, receiving 173 qualified responses. Respondents answered questions about their fleet size, budget, technicians, outsourcing, etc.
