Winter Preparedness Tips for Your Vehicle

Wednesday, November 23, 2011
Cold weather can be hard on your vehicle, especially if it has a faulty battery. As we approach the winter, the Baltimore City Department of General Services’ (DGS) Fleet Management Division reminds everyone to make sure their vehicles are winter- ready. Here are a few items that you should pay special attention to as you winterize your vehicle. Some items you can check yourself, but it is best to have a mechanic inspect and winterize your vehicle for you...

“Preserve the Past, Maintain the Present, Build a Sustainable Future!”

The Department of General Services (DGS) was created on July 1, 2009, having been a division of the Department of Public Works. DGS endeavors to make the City of Baltimore a leader in municipal energy efficiency, an innovator in the application of technology and a sustainable steward of government and community resources. And, our team saves taxpayers nearly $6 million each year through energy efficiency projects.

The Department of General Services has five divisions which provide services to City agencies and residents of Baltimore:

Fleet Management

Fleet Management effectively manages the City’s vehicle operations and facilities.

Facilities Maintenance

Facilities Maintenance provides efficient operation, maintenance and improvement of City owned buildings.

Planning, Design and Construction

Planning, Design and Construction provides the design, engineering, management and inspection of City-funded construction projects and manages property records for all properties located within the city limits.

Energy
