The Division of Finance will complete this task

- See the sample screen shots that show the cost comparisons according to different mileages

Executive Appropriation
Pending Actions5. Direct Fleet Operations
to report to the Legislature (Capital Facilities and Government Operations Appropriations Subcommittee) during the 2011 General Session on the first‐year results of this new model in right sizing the state’s fleet and eliminating underutilized vehicles.
The report will include details of:- vehicles eliminated;- strengths and weaknesses of the new model;- any plans for modification/ improvement going forward.
Minimum mileage threshold changes going forward should also be specifically addressed.
Full Size Van ProtocolRevision
The Division of Risk Management has been working with Fleet Operations on a major revision to the current Full-size Van Protocol and associated inspection forms/logs
Full Size Van ProtocolRevision
• Major points revised in the Van Protocol include:– More clear language about age restrictions and
points allowed on the Utah Driver’s license– New language about reckless driving and drug/
alcohol violations– New language about over the counter drugs
that impair the drivers ability to safely operate a vehicle
– New language about state vehicles leaving the state
Full Size Van ProtocolRevision
• Continued revised points:– New language about restricted driving
hours– New language about dual rear wheel
vans being required for anyone under age 18
– 9 passengers (including the driver) is the maximum. Language about surface streets and 12 passengers was removed
– New language about distractions in the vehicle
State Travel Office
On August 24, 2010 Kim Hood announced that the State Travel Office would be moved from the Division of Finance to the Division of Fleet Operations. – The State Travel Office has:
2 state employees (Tami Nelson and Kevin Lucus)
5 employees that work for Christopherson Business Travel
State Travel Office• There are two state contracts with Enterprise
Rent-A-Car:– Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA)– Agency contract held by Fleet Operations with
Enterprise
• When traveling out of state Risk Management highly recommends the Enterprise contract under WSCA because of the higher liability coverage for the state
– We are currently reviewing a cost comparison to determine if the WSCA contract with Enterprise would be more cost effective for in state travel needs
