Our main goal is to keep the vehicles on the road with minimal "down time". We have in place a very efficient Preventative Maintenance (PM) prgram where each unit is scheduled for filter changes at the appropriate intervals specific to each pience of equipment.

In our efforts to keep our down time to a minimum, the City has set goals as follows; 24 hour turn-a-round 80% and 48 hour turn-a-round 90%. These numbers reflect heavy,medium, light, small, and special equipment. The Police and Fire Departments are expected to be finished at a higher percentage 85% and 95%. During the PM Service a complete inspection can check for potential problems before they happen. Using this practice we can make minor repairs before they turn into large and costly ones.

FUEL – ALTERNATIVE FUEL

The Fleet Department has been entrusted with the task of maintaining a centrally located fuel site, with a total capacity of 30,400 gallons of gasoline, bio-diesel (B20) and DEF fluid. This fueling station is vital to the operation of our emergency vehicles as well as the rest of the fleet. The City of Fort Wayne is committed to maintaining this fuel site in accordance with all Federal, State, and local environmental regulations ensuring a cleaner environment for the citizens of Fort Wayne. The City of Fort Wayne also partners with Lassus Brothers Oil, Inc. to provide 15 remote fueling locations throughout the city. This service allows city employees to remain in their designated part of town during working hours without having to be "out of service" to fuel their vehicles. With the addition of the Lassus stations, the city is able to utilize E85 and E30. These fuel types have proven cost effective and environmentally friendly.
