Fleet Management

The primary mission of the Fleet Management Department is to provide County officials and employees with safe, reliable, cost-effective, and mission-appropriate vehicles, equipment, and services in support of their duties for our citizens. Fleet’s objective is to minimize vehicle and equipment downtime and increase overall productivity, moving towards a more sustainable life-cycle rotation for the entire County’s motorized fleet.

Fleet Management manages and maintains all County vehicles and equipment from purchase to disposal. The only exceptions are vehicles purchased with Federal or State grant funding. Primarily that consists of nearly all of Pasco County Public Transit (GoPasco) vehicles. Duties include specification, acquisition (with Purchasing Department support), maintenance, information management, data analysis, and disposal.

Fleet provides the ancillary vehicle activities of fuel and fuel support and an on-demand motor pool. The Department operates as an internal services fund (ISF) and utilizes revenue generated from rates (fees) charged to customers for goods and services.
