Adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule
Equipment manufacturer recommendations/Basic roadmap Mileage intervals/Manufacturer guidelines Seasonal variations/Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer Environmental conditions/Dusty roads, stop and go driving Vehicle Cleanliness/ Establish a regular program for washing &
cleaning, road salt or brine will accelerate rusting. Dust from roads causes poor driving conditions, passengers are not comfortable in a dirty vehicle.
See Attachment D (Preventive Maintenance Table) and Attachment E (Preventative Maintenance Checklist) Page P-2, Red Administration Handbook

Documentation
Maintenance records are required to be kept on file for each vehicle Records should include specific details when maintenance was performed,
whether preventive or unscheduled Pertinent information/mileage, dates, description of repair, cost, who
performed work Agencies are encouraged to develop spread sheets to help document oil
changes, tire rotations, inspections, etc. (See Attachments I thru L) Monthly maintenance reports are required on every active LADOTD public
transportation vehicle until its has reached its useful life. Report form is required by the 15th day of the following month for the previous month.
