Fuel Purchasing Card Program

The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM) is charged with the responsibility of administering fuel cards for Fulton County. This administration is responsible for ensuring fuel is provided for approximately 1,000 vehicles and other pieces of light and heavy equipment. There are six (6) offsite fueling locations throughout the county available for County employees as a refueling option.

The Wright Express (WEX) stations use County pin-activated fueling credit cards that function as a procurement tools for alternative fueling. These fueling options are designed to delegate authority and capability to purchase fuel quickly and conveniently, directly from U.S. gas stations, for authorized business purposes. The primary benefits of the Fuel Purchasing Card are:

• Acceptance at 95% of U.S. fuel stations (WEX card only).
• Automatic accounting.
• Online and mobile account access.
• Allows for monitoring controls and alerts such as spending limits.
• Provides end users with greater autonomy; and
  Customer empowerment.

Wright Express (WEX) Station guidelines for Fulton County Employees:

• Employees within 25 miles of a Fulton County fuel site, must not use their WEX card to purchase retail fuel. This option offers cost savings to the County, as fuel at Fulton County locations is provided at wholesale prices.
• Employees must submit accurate odometer readings each time a fuel purchase is made.
• The WEX card is designed to be used for fuel purchases related to Fulton County business only. Use of the WEX card for personal purchases is strictly prohibited.
• Employees must enter the digit "1" in front of their unique County PIN number.

The Departments that are authorized to use a WEX Card are responsible for monitoring the effectiveness of the WEX Fuel Program and user compliance with the procedures outlined in this Program Policy. If you have any questions regarding the Program or the appropriate use of the WEX Card, please contact Barbara Burden at barbara.burden@fultoncountyga.gov or Anthony Spencer at anthony.spencer@fultoncountyga.gov.
