DGS’s Fleet Management Division is responsible for the management and maintenance of more than 5,600 pieces of motorized equipment that are assigned to the various City agencies for use in performing a wide range of services which include plowing and sweeping the City streets, collecting refuse and recycling, and responding to medical emergencies.

Through the end of 2016, the City will have replaced close to 1,500 vehicles, which accounts for approximately 1/3 of the vehicle fleet. One major result, through investment in fleet renewal, has been a reduction of the backlog to $99.5 million. Over the past 3 years, Fleet Management has cut the expense of maintaining the City’s vehicle fleet by $1 million per annum
