About the Forum

A trusted forum for public fleet leaders navigating AI.

The Public Fleet AI Forum is a peer-to-peer leadership convening for fleet directors, chiefs of fleet, public works officials, and senior executives at municipal, county, and state agencies. Attendees move past the hype to examine where artificial intelligence is delivering real value in public-sector operations — from preventive maintenance and route optimization to electrification planning, safety, and workforce productivity.

Sessions are practical, vendor-neutral, and grounded in the realities of government procurement, accountability, and public service. You will leave with frameworks you can apply immediately.
