The Benton County Board of Commissioners gave recognition to the Benton County Fleet Team, on June 6, for being awarded 4th place in the 2023 NAFA Fleet Management Association's 100 Best Public Fleets competition during a Board meeting at the Kalapuya Building in Corvallis, Ore.
The National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA) is the leading membership association in the vehicle fleet industry, NAFA's 100 Best Fleets in the Americas program, held annually, recognizes excellence in public and commercial fleet operations. Benton County achieved 9th place in 2022, showing consistent improvement as one of the top fleets (out of thousands) in North, Central and South Americas.
“The primary objective of the 100 Best Fleets program is to inspire and cultivate continuous improvement and innovation within the fleet industry,” said Benton County Fleet Manager Keith Nicolson. “To be recognized as one of the best is a great honor and accomplishment for our team.”
Benton County Sustainability Coordinator Sean McGuire said that a key component of the Benton County Fleet program is its role in helping achieve the County’s sustainability goals.
“Learning that Fleet Services are a Top 5 program came as no surprise, as their dedicated staff has consistently been a champion of sustainability principles. Fleet Services pushes the envelope to purchase alternative fuel vehicles and cleaner infrastructure to achieve the County’s aggressive climate action goals,” McGuire said.
The Benton County Board of Commissioners presented the NAFA award with Benton County Challenge Coins that are awarded to employees for exceptional service.
“We are proud of the fleet crew. Their consistent recognition as one of the best fleets in the Americas is a testament to their commitment to excellence,” said Benton County Board Chair Pat Malone.
