VEHICLE MAINTENANCE DIVISION

Vehicle Maintenance provides general repair and preventative maintenance for all town vehicles and other mechanical equipment. We also maintain a vehicular/equipment history for timely replacements and/or new purchases in a cost effective manner. This department is responsible for providing and monitoring fuel, maintaining equipment fueling facilities, and coordinating all Federal, State, and Municipal regulations. This division of Public Works conducts licensing and inspection on town vehicles as required by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. We have a highly skilled team of technicians who are qualified to maintain school buses, fire engines, rescue vehicles, police cruisers, heavy-duty and light-duty trucks, loaders, backhoes, and an assortment of other large and small pieces of equipment.

GIS COORDINATION

The GIS (Geographic Information System) Department maintains a town-wide collection of geographic data designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. The collection of data for a GIS requires very specialized computer equipment and technical expertise. A GIS combines layers of information about a place to give you a better understanding of that location. Examples: A property ownership map or analyzing environmental drainage. The use of a GIS encourages cooperation and communication among the organizations involved in environmental protection, planning, and resource management.

TRAFFIC/ELECTRICAL DIVISION

The Traffic Division's goal is to ensure the safe, efficient movement of traffic throughout Scarborough through the installation, yearly inspection, and maintenance of traffic signals. In addition to overseeing the traffic signal program, this division of Public Works is also responsible for the Town of Scarborough’s municipal fire alarm system, emergency standby generators, and general electrical maintenance of town facilities.
