WSDOT Recognized For Vehicle Fleet Management

The Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) work to make its fleet of large equipment, trucks and other vehicles more efficient and sustainable has landed it on 'Government Fleet' magazine's list of North America’s top 100 public fleets. Yes, there really IS a magazine called 'Government Fleet.' No, I don't know who reads it.

Ranked on categories such as accountability, technology and environmental stewardship, WSDOT came in No. 83 from among 38,000. Only four state fleets made the list, so that's pretty impressive.

The Lake Stevens Journal has the story.

That is awesome, congratulations! What a great accomplishment for your public fleet. I am sure that other states are wishing they could accomplish that. What are some of the qualities about your public transportation sector that sets you apart from the rest? Is about quantity or quality? How do you deal with gas prices? Do you hire outside contractors to keep up with your drivers or do you use private business fuel cards. I know managing the fuel costs is essential. I am looking to get help on managing my fuel costs within in my company. Any pointers?
