RoadFlex Champions Public Sector Fleet Excellence Through NAFA Partnership
In a strategic move to reinforce its commitment to public sector fleets, RoadFlex, a frontrunner in fuel risk management and fleet expense solutions, has partnered with the NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA).
This collaboration is set to bolster three key NAFA initiatives: the NAFA 100 Best Fleets, the Tom Johnson Award, and Regional Sponsorships across all eight NAFA regions. Through this initiative, RoadFlex is doubling down on its mission to support fleet professionals with education, innovation, and well-earned recognition.
Honouring the Best
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the NAFA 100 Best Fleets program sets industry benchmarks by recognising outstanding fleet management performance. Rush Akin, RoadFlex’s Chief Revenue Officer and long-time advocate of the program, has played a pivotal role in supporting and sponsoring this initiative over the years.
Akin, who is also serving as a judge for this year’s applicants, highlighted the impact of the program: “The 100 Best Fleets program has been instrumental in shaping best practices and pushing the envelope in fleet management. RoadFlex’s sponsorship not only allows us to celebrate top fleets but also aligns with our values of innovation and excellence.”
With fleet managers under increasing pressure to optimise operations, reduce costs, and embrace sustainable solutions, the NAFA 100 Best Fleets program stands as a crucial motivator, spotlighting those who are leading the charge in efficiency and forward-thinking strategies.
Recognising Visionaries
Named in honour of Tom Johnson, a revered figure in the fleet industry, this prestigious award is dedicated to individuals who exemplify leadership, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to fleet management. Johnson’s influence was profound, and his legacy continues through this accolade.
For Rush Akin, this award holds personal significance, as he fondly recalls traveling alongside Johnson to numerous industry events: “Tom was more than just a thought leader—he was a visionary who saw the potential in fleet management long before many others did. It’s fitting that RoadFlex, a company built on forward-thinking solutions, supports this tribute.”
With RoadFlex backing the Tom Johnson Award, the company is ensuring that transformative leaders within the fleet industry receive the recognition they deserve, encouraging others to strive for excellence.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Beyond national-level recognition, RoadFlex is making a concerted effort to support local fleet communities through sponsorships across NAFA’s eight regions. These regional events, held in both physical and virtual formats, provide fleet professionals with critical networking opportunities and tailored educational sessions.
Mary Akhavan, RoadFlex’s Director of Partnerships, highlighted the importance of these regional initiatives: “Our regional sponsorships aren’t just about branding—they’re about fostering collaboration, building knowledge, and creating real connections within the fleet industry.”
With tailored content that addresses the unique challenges and regulations of different geographic areas, these events provide fleet professionals with the tools they need to navigate industry complexities and implement best practices.
