Inaccurate Data and Little Guidance Hinder the DOI’s Ability to Optimize Fleet Size and Composition

Report Number
2017-ER-014

The Office of Inspector General reviewed the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) management of its fleet of roughly 34,000 vehicles to determine whether DOI is maintaining accurate data to optimize it—by ensuring that vehicles’ size and composition meet the agency’s mission—and managing its fleet in accordance with established guidance. We found inaccurate data Departmentwide and an absence of specific guidance from the DOI Office of Acquisition and Property Management (PAM) to bureaus, which are two issues that undermine the DOI’s ability to accomplish its fleet management goals.
