ADOT management of state vehicle fleet saves taxpayers $6 million - The Arizona Department of Transportation has saved taxpayers more than $6 million since taking over the management of fleet vehicles for more than 60 state agencies beginning in 2021.
The concept was first championed by Senator T.J. Shope and included in the overall state budget package approved by Governor Doug Ducey at the close of the 2021 legislative session. It gave ADOT the authority to consolidate the fleet and the agency began implementing standardized best management practices that reduce duplication, cut costs and improve processes. These practices align with the Arizona Management System introduced by the Governor in 2015.
With this consolidation, the state fleet operations follow the same uniform guidelines, including purchasing and preventative maintenance. “The fleet consolidation effort is a win-win for taxpayers and the state,” ADOT Director John Halikowski said. “We are already witnessing savings by reducing the size of the state’s fleet, ordering in bulk and selling vehicles online. We are creating uniform guidelines and processes that will maximize resources and provide improved service to customers.”Reduced underutilized assets including sedans, minivans, half-ton pickups and SUVs, saving more than $6 million.
