Fleet Management
Quick Links
Who We Are
We ensure the County's vehicle and equipment needs are met by maintaining one of the most diverse fleets in the country.
The Fleet Management Division purchases, maintains, repairs, and disposes vehicles and equipment used by Milwaukee County departments. Keys to this program include minimizing vehicle and equipment downtime, providing a preventative maintenance program, and educating users on safe operation and daily maintenance.
This division provides four main functions: equipment repairs, inventory management, equipment coordination, and facility management.
Equipment Repairs
Our Equipment Repairs staff maintain and manage approximately 2,500 vehicles and pieces of equipment ranging from fairway mowers and squad cars to wheel loaders, tandem axle trucks, rotary plows, and combo units that are used in operations like snow removal on the freeway system and at Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.
Inventory Management
Our Inventory Management staff maintain and manage a repair parts inventory of approximately $2 million for all Milwaukee County vehicles and equipment. Inventory Management operates four conveniently located fueling sites, supplying over 800,000 gallons of fuel annually, as well as fuel inventory in 20 above-ground storage tanks in Parks service yards.
Equipment Coordination
Our Equipment Coordination staff research and develop the specifications for purchasing new vehicles and equipment. They work with user departments to ensure the correct piece of equipment is purchased and equipment utilization is maximized.
Facility Management
Our Facility Management staff maintain a 270,000 foot vehicle repair and parking garage consisting of the MCDOT Administration building, a Sheriff's Patrol substation, a 20,000-ton salt dome, a salt-brine production facility, and multiple storage garages.
