This report lays out a strategic roadmap to tackle Eau Claire County’s fleet management challenges. Our main objectives focus on improving cost-effectiveness, right-sizing the fleet, reducing rotation times, increasing overall utilization, and fostering collaboration across departments for more efficient operations. Among the various strategies considered, the report zeroes in on two key approaches. First, optimizing the fleet size to match operational needs, and second, concentrating efforts on rotation schedules and cross-departmental vehicle usage. The latter involves a novel concept: using unfitted passenger vehicles for shared purposes. By focusing on rotation timing and cross-departmental utilization through this innovative approach, we aim to bring about a transformative shift in Eau Claire County’s fleet management. The envisioned future is one marked by streamlined processes, fiscal responsibility, and a commitment to sustainability. The proposed strategic initiatives set the stage for a resilient, adaptable, and efficient fleet management system tailored to meet the diverse needs of the community.
