PBSO Fleet Makes “Top 100 Fleets”<br />

PBSO Fleet Management has again,<br />

for the second year in a row, ranked<br />

within the Top 100 Fleets in North<br />

America.<br />

The Top 100 Fleet Award is open to all<br />

Federal, State, and Local Government<br />

Fleets in North America. This includes<br />

fleets that are operated by local government<br />

personnel or contracted services.<br />

The award is a comprehensive set of<br />

criteria specifically tailored around the<br />

challenges and requirements of the<br />

government fleet manager. All entries<br />

are rated on the content of their<br />

application.<br />

The criteria is carefully selected and<br />

compiled over a period of several<br />

months, using hundreds of sources<br />

in fleet planning and methodology.<br />

It not only functions as the assessment<br />

standards for the yearly award,<br />

but also serves as a foundation for<br />

drafting and implementing a successful<br />

fleet program.<br />

Each year the process is open to<br />

roughly 38,000 governmental fleets<br />

across the country and the top 100<br />

are chosen based on criteria submitted.<br />

This year PBSO has improved<br />

its ranking over the previous year<br />

from 95th to 81st as one of the Top<br />

100 Fleets in North America.PN<br />

The National Campaign to Stop Violence Announces Local Teens in the<br />

Do the Write Thing Challenge<br />

Ashley Coons, an eighth grader from Loxahatchee and David<br />

Dunleavy, an eighth grader from Boca Raton have been selected<br />

by the Palm Beach County Steering Committee of the National<br />

Campaign to Stop Violence as the first place “Ambassadors”<br />

for their efforts to stop youth violence in the Do the Write Thing<br />

Challenge (DTWT.)<br />

Coons and Dunleavy were recognized with the other finalists, on<br />

May 7th at a luncheon at the Kravis Center for the Performing<br />

Arts in West Palm Beach. Coons and Dunleavy received an allexpenses-paid<br />

trip to Washington, D.C. in July, where they and<br />

other “Ambassadors” from around the country will be honored<br />

in a national ceremony.<br />

From over 19,000 Palm Beach County middle school students<br />

who participated in the Do the Write Thing Challenge, 210<br />

were selected as finalists.<br />

The program gives Palm Beach County sixth, seventh and<br />

eighth grade students an opportunity to examine the impact of<br />

violence on their lives through written essays or poems reflecting<br />

on what they can do as individuals to reduce youth violence.<br />

The goal of the program is to reduce youth violence in schools,<br />

at home and in neighborhoods. Many young teens have been<br />

bullied or stigmatized by the way they look or talk or act, and<br />

that can be very traumatic, sometimes resulting in enormous<br />

pain and even suicide.<br />

Not all students who submitted writings are at risk<br />

or have had experience with violence in their lives.<br />

Others may have witnessed it.<br />

All of the entries were read by multiple panels of volunteer<br />

judges representing a cross section of Palm<br />

Beach County educators, law enforcement and judicial<br />

leaders. Submissions were evaluated solely for<br />

their content, not for grammar, spelling or structure.<br />
