Compliance is one of the biggest challenges facing public-sector fleets. Between federal cybersecurity standards, state emissions mandates, and internal policies, agencies are under pressure to prove that vehicles, drivers, and systems all meet requirements. For many, compliance feels reactive—something that is addressed only when an audit looms.
A better approach is to bake compliance into daily fleet operations, making it automatic, consistent, and far less stressful.
• State requirements: Safety inspections, emissions tests, licensing, and insurance.
• Federal mandates: DOT rules, environmental standards, and cybersecurity frameworks like FedRAMP.
• Organizational policies: Driver eligibility, reservation procedures, chargeback reporting, and vehicle use restrictions.
• Manual recordkeeping leads to missing or inaccurate data
• Policies vary across departments, creating gaps in enforcement
• Outdated systems make it difficult to track drivers, vehicles, and usage
• Preparing for audits consumes staff hours and delays other projects
• Automate eligibility checks: Ensure only approved drivers can reserve vehicles.
• Centralize data: Store driver, vehicle, and maintenance records in one system.
• Enforce policies digitally: Reservation rules prevent misuse automatically.
• Track and audit easily: Generate reports on usage, maintenance, and billing in minutes.
• Secure your systems: Choose platforms with SOC 2 and FedRAMP-ready hosting.
