Highway & Fleet Maintenance

The Highway & Fleet Maintenance Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of all public ways encompassing approximately one hundred (100) miles of roadways, consisting of approximately 280 lane miles. Maintenance of this transportation network includes all portions of Town right-of-way including roadways, sidewalks, stormwater drainage systems, street lighting, signage, and traffic control devices. This division is also responsible for the management of winter storm operations, including the hiring of supplemental contract equipment services in accordance with the Town's snow and ice policy and budget. Supervisory staff within this division oversee personnel and material resources directed towards the maintenance of the Town's fleet of vehicles and equipment. Activities within the Fleet Maintenance group include service to those units assigned to the Police Fire, Ambulance, Council on Aging, and Department of Public Works. Preventative and regular maintenance is scheduled while emergency/reactive service is prioritized based upon the risk and consequence of equipment failure. Contact the DPW at (508) 533-3275.
