🌐 English 📄 Report 🏷️ Technology

From sanitation to police to public works, every vehicle in a public sector fleet serves a unique purpose to support the community. But such a noble mission comes with many challenges: a variety of internal and external stakeholders, a diversity of assets that shift projects and locations every day, and a reputation to uphold in every interaction. With an emphasis on maximizing taxpayer dollars as part of every decision, managing a government fleet can be a balancing act of choosing where to put your time, energy, and money. In fact, 56% of respondents from a 2018 Government Fleet survey reported needing to increase their operating budget last year due to rising fuel, oil, and technology costs.
