Fleet Forward brings progress

TYLER- The Texas Department of Transportation today was joined by members of the Texas Transportation Commission in Tyler to showcase Fleet Forward, a program designed to streamline the number of TxDOT vehicles and heavy equipment in order to increase productivity while reducing maintenance and storage costs.
The fleet reduction will save the agency approximately $50 million annually and make it possible to address other TxDOT projects benefiting Texas drivers over the next decade.
“In 2012, I challenged the department to come up with $2 billion in savings over the next few years,” said Commissioner Jeff Austin, Texas Transportation Commission.
“Fleet Forward is our most comprehensive cost-savings initiative so far, impacting every area of TxDOT and ultimately saving Texans money, while making our workplace better and safer.”
