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 May 7. Ford Pro sponsored the award, which is coproduced with the American Public Works Association.
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 mid-size fleet (500-999 assets) is Fayetteville, Arkansas with just over 800 on- and off-highway vehicles, and the No. 1 small fleet (499 or fewer assets) is Buckeye, Arizona, with just under 150 units. Long Beach, California, along with being No.1 overall fleet, is the No. 1 large fleet (more than 1,000 assets), with more than 1,000 on-highway vehicles and over 100 off-highway vehicles.
