The State of Pennsylvania has reduced its fleet size by 2,500 passenger vehicles since 2011, resulting in a cost avoidance and savings of more than $65 million, Sheri Phillips, secretary of the state’s Dept. of General Services wrote in the Times Leader.
The fleet reduction represents 25% of the state fleet. She also stated that travel policies now require employees to use the least expensive travel option; state vehicles are better tracked; and fleet cars are smaller and more fuel efficient.
