The Las Vegas Valley Water District's (LVVWD) vehicle fleet was named one of the best in the nation by the Rocky Mountain Fleet Managers Association (RMFMA). It's the third consecutive time the LVVWD has received the award. Only 12 fleets nationally qualified for the recognition of more than 100 applicants.
The certification is based on eight classifications including, among other things:
- A vehicle replacement program, which contributes to fuel efficiency
- Parts management operations resulting in a reduction in downtime
- A fleet utilization program to manage fleet size
- Bar-coding and paperless work-order technology
"Meeting these requirements means the Water District is among the nation's top organizations in utilizing state-of-the-art techniques and technologies in fleet management," said LVVWD Fleet Services Manger Jim Morwood.
The Water District fleet includes more than 650 cars and trucks of which nearly 80 percent operate on alternate fuels including natural gas, bio-diesel, electric hybrids and hydrogen.
