Authority: (40 U.S.C. 491; P.L. 83-766). Executive Order 10579. P.L. 83-766 and Ixecatiye Order 10579, issued in 1954, autborized the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) to colsolidate, take over, acquire, or arrange for the operation ly any executive agency of motor vehicles for the purpose ot establishing, maintaining, and operatinq interagency motor vehicle ;ccls or systems. Findings/Conclusions: GSA has had some success in consolidating agency vehicle fleets into 100 interagency motor pools, but additional consolidation could save sore money. From a review of eiqht motor pool operations, it was estimated that S743,000 could be saved annually if these operations were imcluCed in the interagency system. GSA maintains that it did not absorb the motor pools because of funding limitations which prevent feasibility studies. Other deficiencies noted were: GSA has not restudied exemptions and deferrals granted as long as 15 years ago to agencies, allowing then to operate separate motor pools; it is not providing enough vehicles to meet agency requirements, resulting in agency use of commercial leasing or purchase o vehicles; and GSA has leased rather than purchasd vehicles when purchase could have save S5.5 million. Recommendations: The Administrator of GSA should: inform the Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (ORB) vhenever funding limitations impede efforts to make feasibility studies and establish motor pcols; direct that previous conditional exemptions and deferrals qrarted agencias be restudied; refuse to grant exemptions or deferrals, thereby requirirg agencies opposing consolidation to justify their positions to o9; and establish a program to replace leased vehicles with Governsent-owned vehicles.
