Atlantic City's Public Works' Upgraded Toolbox

In Atlantic City, summer is more than sunshine and ocean breezes, it’s also a time when the city moves forward. This year, the City of Atlantic City demonstrated its ongoing commitment to residents by adding brand-new vehicles to the Department of Public Works fleet, ensuring services remain efficient, reliable, and ready to meet community needs year-round.

With these new additions, the city has strengthened its ability to deliver essential public services. Whether it’s keeping streets clean, maintaining infrastructure, or responding quickly to seasonal demands, the expanded fleet helps ensure that Atlantic City runs smoothly for everyone who calls it home.

Building the Tools for Better Service
Among the upgrades is a high-reach bucket truck for electrical work, enabling crews to handle repairs and maintenance more quickly and safely. The city also added large and small rear-load garbage trucks, boosting sanitation efforts and supporting cleaner neighborhoods from the Boardwalk to the backstreets.

To keep the city prepared for storm season, stormwater vactor trucks now help maintain catch basins and prevent flooding. And with a universal hook-lift truck equipped for multiple tasks — from snow plowing in winter to leaf collection in autumn — Atlantic City is better equipped for every season.

A Year-Round Commitment to Quality of Life
Each vehicle serves a specific purpose, but together they represent a bigger vision: a city that invests in the tools needed to care for its people and places. It’s about more than machinery — it’s about keeping Atlantic City a cleaner, safer, and more welcoming place for residents, businesses, and visitors.

Why Atlantic City Is a Great Place to Live and Work
Investments like this reflect the spirit of Atlantic City — a community that takes pride in maintaining its neighborhoods, supporting its workforce, and creating an environment where opportunity thrives. From modernized public works equipment to ongoing improvements in housing, parks, and public spaces, the city is building a future where people can live well and work with purpose.

A City in Motion
Just as the tides keep moving, Atlantic City continues to grow and adapt. The upgraded fleet is one more way the city is working to provide dependable services, protect quality of life, and make sure that whether you live here, work here, or visit, you experience the best of what the community has to offer.
