Durham Ranks in Top 50 for Green Fleet Program

DURHAM, N.C. - The City of Durham has once again received recognition for its efforts to have one of the greenest government vehicle fleets in North America.

The City's Fleet Management Department was awarded 30th place in the Top 50 Government Green Fleet(tm) Awards from the 100 Best Fleets in North America and Green Fleet Conference & Expo organizers.

The City of Durham is the only city in North Carolina to be recognized and no other city in North Carolina made the Top 50 list. The Government Green Fleet Award is open to the more than 38,000 federal, state, and local government fleets in North America. The Government Green Fleet Award is a comprehensive set of criteria specifically tailored around the challenges and requirements of the government fleet manager. The award is given based on several key evaluation categories including fleet composition, fuel and emissions, policy and planning, fleet utilization, education, executive and employee involvement, and supporting programs.
