Fleet Division

The Fleet Maintenance Division helps keep Bloomfield running safely and smoothly by caring for the Town’s vehicles and equipment. From police and Town department vehicles to public works trucks and tools, our team makes sure everything is dependable and ready to serve residents when needed.

Why It Matters

When vehicles and equipment are well maintained, Public Works crews can fix roads, respond quickly to storms, care for parks, provide senior transportation, and keep essential services running without delays. By taking care of the Town’s fleet, the Fleet Maintenance Division helps protect taxpayer dollars and make sure residents can count on reliable services every day.

Supporting Essential Town Services

We maintain vehicles and equipment used by:

• Police and emergency services
• Public works and operations
• Schools and social, leisure and senior services
• Town Hall departments

Our work directly supports the services residents rely on, helping Town employees respond quickly and safely throughout the community.

Safety, Reliability, and Readiness

Our top priority is safety. All Town vehicles and equipment are routinely inspected, serviced, and repaired using industry best practices. In the rare event of a major breakdown, the Division provides 24-hour emergency towing to minimize service disruptions.

Responsible Use of Taxpayer Dollars

The Division uses advanced fleet management software to monitor vehicle usage, maintenance costs, fuel consumption, and mileage. This data helps the Town:

• Extend the life of vehicles and equipment
• Reduce unnecessary repairs and downtime
• Plan timely and cost-effective replacements

Environmental Responsibility

Bloomfield is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its fleet. The Fleet Maintenance Division supports this effort by incorporating hybrid vehicles and propane-powered equipment where appropriate and by evaluating new technologies as they become practical and affordable.

Fuel Management

The Division manages and distributes gasoline and diesel fuel for all Town vehicles, overseeing approximately 90,000 gallons annually to ensure accountability and efficiency.

 Dedicated Team

The Fleet Maintenance Division is staffed by a skilled team of professionals who maintain and repair more than 283 Town vehicles and pieces of equipment. Their behind-the-scenes work helps ensure Town services are delivered safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively for Bloomfield residents.

 A well-maintained Town fleet helps keep Bloomfield safe, responsive, and financially responsible. The Fleet Maintenance Division works behind the scenes to ensure that:

• Emergency responders arrive quickly and safely with dependable police, ambulance, and support vehicles
• Roads, parks, and public facilities are maintained on schedule with reliable equipment
• Town services experience fewer delays caused by vehicle breakdowns
• Taxpayer dollars are used wisely by extending vehicle life and reducing costly repairs
• Environmental impacts are minimized through fuel efficiency and alternative-fuel vehicles

 By keeping Town vehicles safe, reliable, and ready for service, the Fleet Maintenance Division directly supports the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and visits Bloomfield.
