For Immediate Release June 18, 2009 Contact: Kelly Reagan, Columbus Fleet Management: 645-6254 John Ivanic, City Council: 645-6798 National Program Honors Columbus Fleet Team Software Upgrade Helps Fleet Go Green The City of Columbus Division of Fleet Management has been honored by the 100 Best Fleets program as the 17th best fleet operation in the country. The top 100 fleets were recently recognized at the Government Fleet Exposition in Denver, CO. There are over 34,000 public fleets in North America, and over 1,400 applications were submitted to a panel of judges. “Congratulations to Kelly Reagan and everybody in Fleet Management for earning this well-deserved recognition,” Mayor Michael B. Coleman said. “Columbus has been recognized time and again as one of the most advanced and efficient fleets in the nation.” To ensure the city’s fleet division will continue its superior service for decades to come, the Columbus City Council recently passed ordinance 0610-2009 to upgrade the city’s use of Fleet Focus software, a high-tech system to bill, manage, monitor and analyze all maintenance-related data for city owned vehicles. Fleet Focus gives Columbus the ability to provide accountability by tracking an unlimited number of city-owned fleet equipment such as refuse trucks, fire apparatus, compost graders and various on-road vehicles to support the daily operational requirements of city government. “These improvements allow the Fleet Management Division to follow in a real time and cost effective manner the work that is being done on city vehicles and equipment,” said Councilmember A. Troy Miller, Chair of the Administration Committee. “This completely automated system is also paperless, enabling the work to be done in the most environmentally friendly manner.” Fleet Management’s 100 Best Fleets ranking was based on nine criteria used to measure the performance of a public fleet. The criteria included accountability; use of technology and information; evidence of a high-trust culture; performance recognition; collaboration creativity; celebration; doing it right the first time; quick and efficient turnaround and competitive pricing; and staff development and resource stewardship. This is the second year in a row Columbus Fleet has been placed in the top 100 fleets in the nation and the first year it has reached the top 20. “I am proud of all Fleet Division employees for making the 100 Best Fleets,” said Columbus Fleet Administrator Kelly W. Reagan. “This honor was achieved with the hard work of our entire team working on the floor and the continued support and guidance from Mayor Coleman and the entire Department of Finance and Management.” 100 Best Fleets plays a leading role in promoting, encouraging, and enhancing the public sector’s work performance and helps identify outstanding operations as models throughout industry. 100 Best Fleets is a nationally recognized industry benchmark recognition program in the public sector. - 30 - |
