Case Study: City of Pampa, Texas achieves 70% idling reduction and $9,000 fuel savings with GPS Insight

User-Friendly GPS Tracking Solution Delivers Results for Texas Municipality

The City of Pampa, Texas Public Works department, led by Director Donny Hooper, needed a better way to manage its municipal fleet—particularly to improve sanitation routing, reduce excessive idling, and curb wasted time and fuel across roughly 50–60 vehicles. Hooper identified GPS fleet management as a solution that would save taxpayer dollars and improve operational accountability.

After trialing vendors, Pampa selected GPS Insight for its intuitive dashboard and strong post-sale support; staff—including less tech-savvy employees—adopted the system quickly. Within months the city cut idling violations by about 70% and average idle time by 55% (roughly $9,000 in fuel saved), improved route efficiency and productivity, set automated maintenance reminders, and better defended public complaints.
