Sweeper Utilization Sweeper Utilization
• Each driver provided the Bread Crumb trail report to his or her supervisor at the end of each day
• Before GPS it took 8 sweepers with 40 hour work weeks to cover the city in a month
• After GPS it took 6 sweepers to cover the same distance and miles of streets
MY Webinars I Website: www.mywebinarsonline.org I Email: [email protected]
SupervisionSupervision
• Required supervisors to work with a crew once a week for the whole day
• Supervisors gained a better understanding of the work in the field and things that slowed crews down
• Exposed the crews to the work ethic standards that the city expected

Fuel Reduction Fuel Reduction
• 50 Light Duty vehicles:– Reduce 10 miles per week– Reduce 15 minutes of idle per day– Reduce 5 mph of top speeds– = Savings of $42,000 per year in Gasoline costs
• 50 Heavy Duty vehicles:– Reduce 10 miles per week– Reduce 15 minutes of idle per day– = Savings of $40,800 per year in Diesel Costs
• Reducing 15 minutes of Idle= $500 per year in fuel savings. (EPA Study)
