Governor says executive order aims to cut state vehicle fleet by 1,000; agencies down 600–700 so far
Summary
The governor described an executive order directing agencies to inventory and reduce state vehicles, saying some agencies report reductions and that the administration aims to eliminate about 1,000 vehicles through consolidation and sharing.
The governor described an executive order that directed state agencies to review their vehicle inventories and identify opportunities to reduce the fleet and share vehicles across agencies.
He said it has been “a challenge” to get an accurate inventory but that some agencies have reduced their fleets and the administration estimates a decline of “6, 700 vehicles” (transcript phrasing) and a goal of removing about 1,000 vehicles overall.
The governor said the idea is to improve efficiency and reduce waste; he credited a practice he learned from former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels of testing vehicle use before disposing of surplus cars.
Unresolved details The governor did not provide an exact current vehicle count, a statutory basis for the executive order, or a timeline for disposing of specific vehicles. Several numbers in the exchange were conversational and should be confirmed with agency inventory data.
