The Commonwealth of Kentucky Light Duty Fleet is largely owned by the Finance Cabinet and leased to other agencies with agencies own their own heavy duty and specialty vehicles. With several thousand vehicles, Kentucky’s Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), Division of Equipment owns and operates the largest agency-owned fleet and is the largest customer of the Finance Cabinet’s Division of Fleet Management in the state. As new technologies have emerged, this KYTC fleet has been outfitted and refitted with new, more advanced AVL devices several times in the past few years. These include everything from basic plug and play tracking devices, to hardwired specialty devices to decode complex winter operations data with multiple sensors. Most recently, this entire fleet was refitted with new devices to bring even more capabilities to a robust fleet solution that now includes Winter Material Management, complex engine diagnostics, sensor data, and various integrations to automate accounting and management functions. Lessons learned can be applied at large state agencies by examining the entire deployment and at the municipal level by examining the district and county level activity.
