The Public Fleet Hall of Fame honorees will be chosen by a combination of industry professionals via an online ballot and Government Fleet staff. It was established in 2014 with 10 founding members. Eight fleet veterans were inducted in 2015, six in 2016, and four in 2017. This year, three fleet veterans will be inducted. Of all the Hall of Fame inductees, one exceptional fleet professional will be chosen to receive the Legendary Lifetime Achievement Award, also sponsored by NJPA.
The recipients of these awards will be recognized at The Honors Celebration during the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX), which will take place in San Diego June 4-7.
