The city of Henderson is being recognized for how it manages its cars.

The city was just named one of the “100 Best Fleets in North America” according to Government Fleet magazine. It was ranked 62nd on the list. The rankings were based on communities that had worked to improve the performance of their fleet.

More than 38,000 government fleets from across the country were eligible for the award. This is the first time Henderson has been recognized. The magazine looked at accountability measures, use of technology, creativity and competitive pricing.

“Our city shop has been charged with working more effectively while using fewer resources, and this recognition truly depicts their hard work,” Henderson Mayor Andy Hafen said.

Henderson was recognized for a number of changes including car sharing, managing fuel prices, fleet downsizing and reducing maintenance turnaround time.
