Operations•Photos 21

This year in public sector fleets wasn’t just about new vehicles and technologies—it was about the people. 2024 saw major milestones: groundbreaking EV rollouts, new award winners, and innovative fleet management strategies. But it was also marked by transitions. Leaders retired, others stepped into new roles, and the fleet community mourned the loss of its own.

Each photo in this gallery captures a moment that defined the year, from the deployment of critical vehicles to the hands behind the scenes keeping fleets running. These images tell the stories of progress, adaptability, and the people who made it all possible.

Explore the milestones that shaped 2024 in public fleets through the lens of those who live this work every day.
