The role of the public fleet operation has evolved over the years to a new profile of asset management, environmental stewardship, and related business functions, according to APWA. Since its inception, a total of 103 U.S. and Canadian fleet professionals have received the CPFP certification.
The CPFP certification program has launched computer-based testing in the Canada exam administration.
