Qualified nominees will be asked to complete an essay questionnaire for judges, and a group of public sector fleet managers from around the country judges the award.

Candidates are judged on the following criteria: business plan, technology implementation, productivity, policies, preventive maintenance program, utilization management, replacement program, customer service, fuel management, and recent accomplishments.

The recipients of these awards will be recognized at The Honors Celebration during the Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX). The winner and finalists will be featured in Government Fleet magazine.

Past winners of the Public Sector Fleet Manager of the Year award include Mark Stevens from the City of Sacramento, California; Dan Berlenbach from the City of Long Beach, California; and Jeff Booton from the Denver International Airport. See a full list of past winners here.
