DHS OIG: DHS Does Not Adequately Manage or Have Enforcement Authority Over Its Components’ Vehicle Fleet Operations 

August 1, 2014

Pursuit's Take

The Department of Homeland Security(DHS) had the second largest civilian motor vehicle fleet in the Federal Government, owning or leasing about 56,000  vehicles, with reported annual operating costs of about $534million.

DHS does not adequately manage or have the enforcement authority over its components’ fleet operations to ensure that its motor vehicle fleet composition is right sized.

In that fiscal year, OIG estimates that operating these underused vehicles cost between $35.3million and $48.6million. For these reasons, DHS cannot ensure its vehicle fleet composition is cost efficient, complies with departmental requirements, and has the correct number of motor vehicles to accomplish its mission.
