The Fleet Management Division provides high-quality maintenance and repair at the most economical cost to Leon County taxpayers. We enhance customer satisfaction by soliciting input before, during, and after repairs. Our employees perform all repairs with respect for the environment and consistently demonstrate that service is our most important priority.
Fleet Management staff provide repair and maintenance services for more than 800 vehicles and equipment owned and operated by Leon County, including 27 hybrid vehicles and 16 electric vehicles. Staff are also responsible for the replacement of vehicles and equipment, the development of specifications before purchase, and the submission of requisitions for procurement.
Leon County is committed to operating the most functional, fuel-efficient, and least-polluting fleet available to support County operations, while also being fiscally responsible with purchases and operational costs. These goals led to the creation of the Green Fleet Policy in 2020. This policy provides a set of criteria for purchasing fuel-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly County vehicles and equipment. The overall intent of this policy is to establish a green fleet that will contribute to the following goals:
- Improve fuel efficiency.
- Use cleaner technology with reduced emissions.
- Lower or contain fuel costs.
- Reduce dependency on any single energy source.
- Transition the fleet inventory toward right-sized and electric vehicles.
- Convert 30% of light-duty vehicles to fully electric as replacements.
- Reduce total fuel consumption by 30% by Fiscal Year 2030.
- Ensure all employees driving County vehicles receive green driver education.
The responsibility for the procurement and dispensing of gasoline, diesel fuel, and oil products is an integral role of this division. In addition to Leon County Government vehicles and equipment, the Fleet Management refueling site serves as a remote refueling station for the Leon County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
