The APWA CPFP program is a public works professional development initiative that is intended for both the seasoned, career government public fleet manager and those interested in the credential to promote their public fleet management career. Recent CPFPs include:

"The purpose of APWA's Certified Public Fleet Professional program is to promote excellence in fleet management by advancing the fleet professionals' knowledge and practice to benefit communities through quality services," said APWA Executive Director Peter B.
