Fleet Management Awards

Larry Goill Award for Quality Fleet Management Ideas

At the National Association of Fleet Administrators annual Fleet Management Institue, David Carr, Manager of Motor Pool Operations, was presented with the "Larry Goill Award for Quality Fleet Management Ideas."

A reservation system that began as a pegboard on the wall of Motor Pool Operations has evolved into a paperless process that saves time for all parties involved. The online reservation process was developed as a component of Motor Pool Operation's fleet management system.

The reservation system debuted January 1999. As of April 1, 2000 over 650 Motor Pool clients are making and confirming their own vehicle reservations. As of December 2006 we now have over 5600 registered online users

The Motor Pool's Online Reservation System is one of the first examples of successful application of technology to fleet administration. As such, it has served as an example for other agencies, universities, and private fleets to investigate and utilize current technology in their own fleets.

The Motor Pool team is very proud and honored by this recognition. We'd like to extend a special "thank you" to David Carr, Holly Campbell, Rick Anglin, and Alexis Raphael for their time and effort to make this system a reality and success.
