Nominations Now Open for NAFA Fleet Safety Awards

Deadline is May 15th

Edison, N.J. (March 27, 2026) – NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), the vehicle fleet industry’s largest membership association, is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the inaugural Fleet Safety Awards, which recognize operations that exemplify a safety-first culture within government and commercial fleets in North America.

The Fleet Safety Awards joins the umbrella of recognition programs under the 100 Best brand. The Fleet Safety Awards build on NAFA’s commitment to a fleet industry where every driver, vehicle, and stakeholder is aligned in the mission to make it home safe, every day.

The Fleet Safety Awards are sponsored by AssetWorks, FuelForce and Toyota Fleet.

“Safety is one of NAFA’s core focus areas and we want to honor organizations for their work and provide the entire industry with real-world examples of best safety practices,” said Bill Schankel, CAE, CEO of NAFA. “By ranking fleets according to their safety performance, the program not only highlights best practices but also encourages industry-wide improvements and sets benchmarks for excellence with the constant goal of efficient, sustainable and safe fleets.”

The Fleet Safety Awards are open to all corporate and government fleets. The application is free for all. A task force of subject matter experts have helped develop the criteria to ensure all winners represent industry priorities and best practices. Scoring will be judged based on safety criteria including foundations of fleet safety, measuring safety, employee engagement and safety culture, safety policy, safety technology, training programs, communication and driver routines, enforcement and correction action, and wellness, ride-alongs and scorecards. 

The deadline for submitting a nomination is May 15th. All submissions will be evaluated by a panel of industry experts who bring a well-rounded and informed perspective to the review process.

Winners of the 2026 Fleet Safety Awards will be announced Oct. 19th during NAFA’s Fleet Safety Symposium, scheduled to take place at the 2026 Fleet Forward Conference in National Harbor, Md.
