Robin Rehborg, CAFM, was appointed director the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) State Fleet Services on Dec. 1, 2012 following Paul Hansen’s retirement and move to the State of Minnesota fleet.
NDDOT State Fleet Services oversees 3,000 light-duty vehicles and 600 heavy-duty trucks and specialty units, including eight motor pools across the state. It has a total staff of 13 and has a two-year budget of more than $62.6 million.

“Currently we are working on two programs within our fuel management for reporting purposes and checks and balances. My number one goal is to make the State Fleet as efficient as possible with the current changes that are occurring in North Dakota and future changes that are sure to come,” Rehborg said. Rehborg added that NDDOT State Fleet has been in the 100 Best Fleets for three consecutive years, including this year.
Rehborg has been with the NDDOT fleet since 2006, most previously as its light-duty fleet operations manager. Prior to joining the NDDOT, she was the general manager of a propane company and ran the fleet of service vehicles and bobtails.
Karen Baggenstoss, who has been a fleet manager for 10 years at the NDDOT, filled Rehborg’s position as light-duty fleet operations manager.
As public agencies work to cut emissions from off-road operations, fleets are turning to a mix of renewable fuels, hybrid systems, battery-electric equipment and emerging hydrogen technology.
RoadFlex expands its fueling network for public sector fleets through a new partnership with Refuel, adding more than 250 locations across the Southeastern U.S. to improve access, savings, and efficiency.
Fuel management can become a tricky obstacle, but smart strategies and new tech have turned it into a well-oiled machine where price prediction is art, and cost control is science.
A major point of debate in fleet management is using diesel vs. gas cars and trucks. Choosing to purchase gasoline engines instead of diesel ones for medium-duty trucks may be an unpopular decision, but is it the right one?
On-site fueling has its pros and cons, and even if it seems like the best option for the fleet, there are still two big obstacles to overcome: getting the stamp of approval and basically everything pertaining to the infrastructure.
