THE PROBLEM
With an aging fleet of vehicles ranging from one to twenty-one years old, the St. Louis Board of Education was losing precious dollars from its budget to a fleet that was costly to maintain and not environmentally friendly.
THE SOLUTION
The school district came to Enterprise Fleet Management to shift focus back to educating students rather than managing a fleet of vehicles. The district sought to eliminate rarely used vehicles, increase the safety of its fleet, and develop a cycling plan to replace aging vehicles while addressing increasing maintenance and fuel costs.
Together with Enterprise, the St. Louis Board of Education chose tocycle out older vehicles and replace them with more fuel efficient models. The district also opted for a replacement cycle that matched its funding period, while utilizing the Full Maintenance program and Fuel Management program to increase efficiency and simplify its budget.
