“NAFA thanks the (House Transportation and Infrastructure) Committee for their work in moving forward this bipartisan bill,” said NAFA Chief Executive Officer Phillip E. Russo, CAE. “While we recognize this bill requires Congress to provide funding for the latter three years, and in our current political climate that could be difficult, we are closer to a long-tern funding agreement than we have been in a very long time. This is progress and NAFA, speaking for fleet professionals across North America, applauds it.”

Effective Fleet Communications: The cornerstone of any successful fleet implementation
By Reiner Willems, Marketing Director, LeasePlan International
During a recent international fleet management event a Global Fleet Manager commented to me: “Although I am responsible for sourcing our global fleet, my job seems to be more about selling than about buying.”

More Oversight Could Have Saved DHS $2.5M in Fleet Services
An audit of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service has found the agency hasn’t managed its fleet vehicle procurement effectively, missing out on $2.5 million in potential savings in 2014.
The audit was conducted by DHS’s inspector general at the request of the House subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency to see if the agency’s fleet of more than 1,100 vehicles was necessary to operations.
The 1,169 vehicles in the FPS fleet cost $10.7 million in FY 2014, with 98 percent of them are leased through an agreement with the General Services Administration.
The agency, which provides security services for federal properties, has a fleet of both law enforcement and administrative vehicles, supplying an emergency response vehicle for each law enforcement officer in FPS.
