The City of Irvine’s Fleet Services Division is vital to supporting public safety, daily operations, and community services by maintaining a fleet that is safe, dependable, and environmentally sustainable. The division offers a full range of services: including preventive maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, fueling, and fabrication of City-owned vehicles and heavy equipment.

As part of the City of Irvine’s broader effort to maintain a clean and welcoming environment, the City enforces a Zero Tolerance Policy for graffiti. The Graffiti Abatement Program is a collaborative initiative managed by the Public Works & Sustainability and Public Safety departments.

How It Works

When graffiti is reported, the incident is logged and evaluated for urgency and severity. Based on this assessment, a response team—either City staff, a contractor, or an external agency—is dispatched to remove the graffiti.

The City of Irvine is proud to maintain a highly skilled Facilities Maintenance team composed of 31 dedicated professionals. This team oversees the maintenance and care of 116 City-owned locations, including community and neighborhood parks, pump and irrigation stations, lighting infrastructure, pedestrian tunnels, and specialized facilities such as the Irvine Civic Center, Senior Centers, Aquatic Facilities, Libraries, and Animal Care Center.
