Buckeye is celebrating a major milestone in public service excellence as its fleet operations jumped from 42nd last year to the 29th Best Fleet in the Americas for 2026, a ranking completed by the NAFA Fleet Management Association.
This impressive climb reflects the city's focus on innovation and operational excellence. As one of the nation's fastest-growing communities, Buckeye is setting a new gold standard for public service by ensuring its fleet operations lead the way in productivity and efficiency.
By maintaining these high standards, the city is ensuring that major assets are protected while maximizing the value of taxpayer dollars through proactive maintenance and streamlined operations.
In a dual victory for the department, Jerry Dake, Fleet Maintenance Technician, has been named Fleet Technician of the Year. This prestigious honor is a testament to the high level of expertise and dedication Jerry brings to the city every day.
Buckeye could not be prouder of Jerry Dake and the entire Fleet team for their hard work, technical expertise and commitment to keeping Buckeye moving forward in fleet management.
