What benefit does Fleet Management provide to the residents of Montgomery County?

Fleet Management maintains the police vehicles in support of Public Safety, the ride-on buses in support of Transportation, and administrative vehicles in support of Health and Human Services and other County services. Without properly maintained vehicles, County services to residents would be severely impacted.

Fleet Management is a 24x7 operation that remains open even during a County declared emergency, such as a weather event. The mechanics and supervisors are considered essential personnel and must report to their work location even though the County is closed. Once they arrive at work, they often remain there throughout the entire event because if they leave, they may not be able to safely return. They perform maintenance on the County’s dump trucks, before, during and after a storm so the trucks that plow the streets have high availability.

Fleet employees keep the ride-on buses operational and fill generators so other County facilities can open.

What does Fleet Management do when a citizen reports a County vehicle being used in an improper manner or a citation is issued?

Fleet Management Services uses the information provided by the citizen or in the citation to identify the asset involved and work with the department to locate the vehicle operator in order to address the citizen's concern or satisfy the requirement of the citation.
