Mercury Associates, Inc. previously announced the revival of the Certified Fleet Management Organization (CFMO) Program, a third-party certification system aimed at evaluating and improving public and private sector fleet operations.
Marcella Boyd, a consultant with Mercury Associates, joined Government Fleet to talk about the program, what's different, and what fleets need to know to earn the title.
Here's what's covered in the video: 00:54 CFMO background and what is significantly different from the pre-2019 version.
02:15 Why a fleet should pursue CFMO, and where past participants have seen the biggest wins. 03:36 How are criteria weighted, and are there any “gate” requirements that can block certification?
04:37 How CFMO accounts for differences in size and resources—especially with small or rural fleets.
05:48 If an applicant falls short, what feedback they receive, how quickly they can remediate and reapply, plus typical timeline and cost to complete.
07:14 How fleets can start preparing, especially with the goal to hand out certifications at GFX 2026.
