DPW: Fleet Management
City of Somerville FY22 Budget
Core Function
The Fleet Division is responsible for service and maintenance of all City owned vehicles which support city-wide functions for public works, emergency response, fire & safety including snow removal equipment, including the responsibility for the maintenance and service of the fuel management system.
Changes for FY22
