Mission
The mission of the Office of Fleet Management (OFM) is to support City departments and agencies in the delivery of municipal services by ensuring that City vehicles and other automotive-related equipment are available, dependable, and safe to operate.
At the beginning of its tenure, the Rendell Administration recognized that 90 percent of all City services involved the use of vehicles. In April 1993, in response to recommendations by the Mayor's Private Sector Task Force, the City created OFM to centralize responsibility for the acquisition, assignment, and maintenance of approximately 6,000 City vehicles and pieces of equipment at the lowest long-term cost to Philadelphia taxpayers.
This fleet includes ambulances, fire apparatus, trash compactors, highway paving equipment, police cars, riding mowers, passenger and cargo vans, jeeps, buses, and sedans, and generates an average of 1,617 maintenance and repair work orders each week, or over 84,000 work orders a year. |
