1. What is the Fleet Auction?

Fleet Services provides a monthly auction to dispose of obsolete equipment for the City and other entities. Items sold at these auctions ranges from pre-owned City Metro Transportation Coaches to general office equipment. The recovered residual revenue is deposited into our customers' equipment replacement funds to offset the purchase of their replacement equipment.

The City of Cincinnati/Fleet Services (formerly Municipal Garage) is located at Central Parkway & Bates Avenue. The equipment is located in the fenced lot off Bates Avenue, across the street from the Fleet Services Building.
