The Fleet- So you need a vehicle
First things first • Is this a new requirement?
• Does the vehicle replace an existing vehicle?
• Do you have the funding to purchase a vehicle?
• Do you have authority to purchase a vehicle?
Statutory authority and funding is usually in agency’s annual
appropriations document.
25
The Fleet- Acquisition Alternatives
• GSA Lease (GSA Fleet) • Best for vehicles that meet utilization standards • Simple, cost effective, provides management services and reports • Replacement schedules based on type and mileage • Non-mandatory source
• GSA Purchase (GSA Fleet) • Mandatory Source • Best for specialty vehicles and those that are critical to mission • Requires “management” and information collection • Replacements vulnerable to funding shortages
• Commercial Lease through GSA (Schedule 751) • For small quantities of cars, light trucks, and SUV’s • Maintenance and “Management” NOT included
• Direct Commercial Lease • Least desirable alternative
• Privately Owned Vehicle (POV) • Excess/Surplus Vehicles from other agencies
26
The Fleet – Identification/Registration
The Federal Motor Vehicle Registration System (FMVRS) allows you to:
• Obtain your total Inventory of registered vehicles • Obtain your total inventory of license plates • Look up any vehicle’s license plate or registration • Create a list of missing license plates • Download the latest User’s Guide • Take FMVRS training • Vehicle identification cards • Participation in FMVRS is mandatory if your vehicles display US Government

The Data – Managing It
Fleet Management Information System!!! FMR §102-34.340—Do we need a fleet management information system? Yes, you must have a fleet management information system at the department or agency level that— (a) Identifies and collects accurate inventory, cost, and use data that covers the complete lifecycle of each motor vehicle (acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal); and (b) Provides the information necessary to satisfy both internal and external reporting requirements, including: (1) Cost per mile; (2) Fuel costs for each motor vehicle; and (3) Data required for FAST (see §102-34.335).
35
The Data – Managing It
The ACID Test
A Fleet Management System should be: Automated – so it does the work, not you–an MIS is a tool, not a job Comprehensive – accounts for all relevant data, including "invisible" costs like overhead Integrated – with other agency systems, not stand-alone and duplicative Dedicated – to fleet, not generic property management
36
The Data – Managing It
• What Is A Qualified Fleet MIS? • GSA Bulletin FMR B-15 explains the requirements.
• Where Can I Get One?
• Build one - custom • Buy one - COTS • Fleet Drive-Thru for GSA Fleet vehicles • FedFMS - GSA Fleet’s MIS for agency-owned vehicles and commercially
leased vehicles
37
The Data – Using It
• What Is Fleet Data Used For? • Manage the fleet! • Use to help justify the fleet! • Report on alternative fuel and sustainability goals (FAST) • Comply with GSA reporting requirements (FAST) • Support agency budget submission under OMB Circular A-11 (FAST) • Satisfy annual EIA Annual Survey of Alternative Fueled Vehicles (FAST) • Satisfy EPA EISA 141 LGHG report (FAST) • Justify fleet vehicles through VAM (FAST) • Populate OMB scorecards (FAST) • Populate annual SSPP • Any data reporting requirements of your agency
38
The Data – FAST
• What Is FAST?
• Web-based reporting tool • Not an MIS • Joint project of GSA and DOE in 2000 • Replaced manual reports • Satisfies multiple reporting requirements
• How Does FAST Work? • Primary 10-week data call October-December
• Collects inventory, cost, utilization, fuel data • VAM/Fleet Management Plan call in May • EPAct 701 & EISA 246 data call in June • OMB A-11 budget data call in August
FAST: Continuing the Focus on Fleet Data Quality Workshop
Wednesday, January 29 at 9:15am to 10:15am in Room 145

• Preprogrammed reports • Full query capability • User-customized reports • Interactive trend analysis/data visualization • Data validation • Acceptance of XML feeds • Full-time help desk • Online help, training, FAQs, etc. • Sandbox version for training/testing • Full documentation
40
The Data – FAST Changes
What Is changing in FAST?
• Since 2000 data collection based on old paper form • Data collected in separate “buckets”
• Inventory by type, cost/mileage by class, fuel by fuel type • Limited crosswalk among buckets
• Moved to asset level data (ALD) • All data tied to specific vehicle • Easier reporting • Better data quality • Better data mining
.
41
The Data - ALD
• “GSA and DOE shall ensure that vehicle level government- wide reporting systems [FAST] are updated by December 15, 2016 for the primary annual data call to collect asset-level data.”
• “Each agency must submit asset level fleet data from its FMIS to government-wide reporting systems.”
• All agencies are successfully reporting ALD!
• https://fastweb.inl.gov/help/index.cfm/resources/vehicle-level-data
42
A few words on VAM
Agencies make two submissions to complete annual VAM reporting
In addition, the agency’s VAM Optimal Fleet Profile is uploaded to FAST once after the most recent VAM study and updated as necessary.
