Fleet & Inventory

Fleet & Inventory manages and maintains The City of Calgary's fleet of vehicles and equipment (excluding Calgary Transit, Fire, Police and Planning and Development). Fleet & Inventory supports City business units that are responsible for providing front-line services to citizens, such as: waste and recycling, repairing and cleaning roads and repairing water mains.

City of Calgary fleet utility vehicles have the following standard identification markings:

• City of Calgary Visual Identifier (placed in centre section of driver and passenger doors, tail gate).
• Contact 311 and calgary.ca (corporate URL). Placed under Visual Identifier.
• Vehicle Identification Number (back, on windshield and both sides of vehicle).
• Two-inch high conspicuity tape (sides and back of vehicle).

Non-standard City of Calgary vehicles have slightly different versions of standard identification markings. Many fleet vehicles come in a multitude of colours and types. An example of fleet non-standard vehicles would include: forklifts, graders dump trucks, trailers, front-end loaders, lawn maintenance vehicles, Waste & Recycling Service garbage and recycling trucks, excavators, backhoes, bulldozers, landfill compactors and many others.
