The 2023 100 Best Fleets were announced by the National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA) last week and Sacramento County was named the number two best public fleet!
The 100 Best Fleets in the Americas program recognizes peak-performing public and commercial fleet operations. This program identifies and encourages the ever-increasing levels of performance improvement and innovation within the fleet industry.
“Last year we were named the number three best fleet by NAFA, and this year we improved to number two," said Keith Leech, Chief of the Fleet Services Division and Parking Enterprise. “This is a testament to the hard work our talented fleet professionals have put into adapting to the challenging fleet environment by preparing for a zero emissions future while maintaining operational effectiveness.
Sacramento County has long embraced clean air initiatives. This commitment to fleet sustainability began in 1999 with the adoption of the County's Heavy Duty Low Emission Vehicle Acquisition Policy and is currently recognized as one of the most sustainable government fleets in North America. This achievement is primarily due to the county's conversion to renewable fuels.
