This report, a review and analysis of the fleet operations of local governments in Tennessee, demonstrates the potential for fuel and cost savings resulting in long term benefits of reduced operating costs and improved service levels. Ten cities and counties were selected for a detailed investigation of total fleet operations with comparative records maintained to identify fuel consumption and total cost-per-mile of operation. The report presents recommendations for possible fleet management improvements based on the data collected and interviews conducted with operating personnel and local elected officials.
