What we're watching

  • The recruitment and retention of skilled trade workers is an ongoing challenge. 
  • Paired with rising costs, inflation, demand for new technologies and supply chain constraints these challenges may disrupt operations and ability to be cost-effective. 
  • We are watching technological trends including artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and advancements in analytics that have the potential to increase efficiency and right-size fleets. 
  • The accelerated pace of electric vehicle adoption poses an opportunity to reduce fuel consumption, emissions and maintenance costs. These benefits are balanced by the cost to replace existing vehicles and install electric charging infrastructure. 
  • The new dynamic Carrier Profile R-Factor threshold can result in additional monitoring, service delivery disruption and increased liability. 
  • Aging infrastructure and space challenges is a major constraint for operations. A proactive approach is required to get ahead of service impacts and improve safety.

Our initiatives


What we plan to do

We will reduce the environmental impact of The City's fleet while implementing initiatives that will improve customer safety and service delivery.

How we're going to get there

  • Reduce the environmental impact of The City's fleet and contribute to achieve corporate greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets by implementing the Corporate Green Fleet Strategy.
  • Improve safety and business continuity by investing in critical facility and equipment lifecycle upgrades.
  • Engage employees to be actively involved in maintaining a safe workplace through participation in safety governance committees, implementation of safety programs and performance improvement.
  • Reduce liability to The City and citizens by investing in telematics and critical technology infrastructure that will improve vehicle safety and driver behaviour.
  • Improve vehicle utilization and maximize the use of City-owned vehicles and equipment by advancing Flex Fleet, The City's corporate car share program.
