Durham Is the Highest-Ranking North Carolina City



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



The City’s Fleet Management Department has been named to the 100 Best Fleets in the Americas(tm)<http://www.the100bestfleets.com/100_winners_2017.htm> for 2017.

The 100 Best Fleets Program recognizes and rewards peak-performing fleet operations in North America. This awards program identifies and encourages ever-increasing levels of performance improvement within the fleet industry.
