The FEDFLEET organization,

GSA’s Office of

Governmentwide Policy, and

the GSA Fleet Program welcome

you to Nashville, Tennessee and

FedFleet 2005. The FedFleet 2005

Planning Committee has worked

very hard to make this year’s event

an exceptional training experience

and an excellent value for your

travel and training funds. Our

agenda has over 45 breakout

sessions, six general sessions, and

an exhibit hall with over 350 vendor

booths. FedFleet 2005 also

incorporates Federal Vehicle

Standards Conference sessions

into the agenda, as well as a ride

and drive event specifically

dedicated to hybrid vehicles,

neighborhood electric vehicles, and

energy conservation. We hope that

you will take advantage of the many

educational and networking

opportunities over the next few days

and thoroughly enjoy your stay at

the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. Please

do not hesitate to contact any of the

FedFleet 2005 workers if you have

any concerns or questions.

And now, a little about this great

city:

From orchids to orchestras,

Nashville’s uniquely diverse musical

scene, geographic beauty, cultural

artistry and vibrant, come-alive

history make Music City a must-see

addition to any itinerary. 

Centrally located in Middle

Tennessee and strategically nestled

at the intersection of three major

interstate highways, Tennessee’s

capitol city vibrates with a pulse

like nowhere else in the world.

Whether you’re staying for a week

or a weekend, plan to pack for days

chock-full of endless delight and

surprise. 

Nashville is a city with a foundation

built on 200 years of musical roots.

Today those roots have grown firmly

into a platform from which the city

heralds its signature product. Not

surprisingly, the heartbeat of Music

City is driven by music – from

country to classical and all points

between. Nashville is home to many

superstars in the realms of country,

pop, jazz, blues and bluegrass.

Tourists flock from all over the

globe to visit fabled Music Row, the

business center of the music

industry, or any of the other places

in Nashville where music of all

kinds lives and breathes. 

Many enticing stops, musical and

otherwise, await you in Music City.

You won’t want to miss the

spectacular Country Music Hall of

Fame and the world-class Frist

Center for the Visual Arts. In a

facility the size of a full city block,

the Hall of Fame unearths the

colorful roots of country music,

traces the amazing careers of both

legends and superstars, and offers

many interactive opportunities for

visitors to learn about country

music and how it’s created. At the

Frist Center, renowned artists’

works from prestigious national and

international galleries are on loan

for off-the-street observers as well

as cultured art enthusiasts to

appreciate. The Frist also offers live

Nashville—the only Music City

Continued on page 2
musical events, across a wide

spectrum of styles, on certain nights

throughout the year. Both attractions

bring a fresh look to our revitalized

downtown and showcase the

diversity of Nashville’s arts. These

two destinations, along with our

critically acclaimed symphony, ballet,

opera and theater companies,

continue to broaden the definitions of

Nashville as Music City. 

While here, you also won’t want to

pass up the opportunity to take in the

Grand Ole Opry, the world’s longest

running live radio show. Since its

debut 79 years ago, the Opry’s

popularity continues to grow. For 31

years the world’s premier ongoing

country music program was staged at

the Ryman Auditorium, a historic

downtown site dubbed “the Mother

Church of Country Music” because of

its roots as a tabernacle. But since

the 1970s, the Opry has called the

larger 4,400-seat Grand Ole Opry

House, just a few miles northeast of

downtown, home. The Opry continues

to be the epicenter of country music

and is known worldwide for its place

in the hearts of millions of dedicated

fans who continue to enjoy the

weekly program on radio and

television.

For the shopping aficionado, nothing

says “shoppertainment” better than

Opry Mills, a sprawling retail, dining

and entertainment complex adjacent

to the Grand Ole Opry House where

your group can shop all day and enjoy

more than 200 stores under the yearround comfort and convenience of

one completely enclosed facility. The

ultimate, distinctly Nashville

shopping adventure awaits you at

Opry Mills!

Proving that a city can be both regal

and engaging, Nashville promises to

deliver all the amenities of a

cosmopolitan city with the

convenience and feel of a small town.

Come discover for yourself all the

treasures of Music City—the only

Music City. ■

Howdy FedFleet 2005

Participants:

I

t is with great pleasure that I welcome y’all to FedFleet

2005, the fifth National Federal Fleet Manager Workshop

and Information Fair. My office is pleased to sponsor

this year’s event with the Federal Fleet Policy Council

(FedFleet) and GSA Fleet. We are very happy to have you

join us in the Music City! You have a busy week ahead of

you with six general sessions, 40+ workshop training

sessions, a networking reception, and a considerable

amount of exhibit hall time. For the first time, GSA has

included the previous Federal Vehicle Standards

Conference workshop sessions and vendor presentations

into FedFleet 2005. All the information you are looking for

as a Federal fleet professional can be found at FedFleet

2005!

This is a very significant time for all of us in the Federal

fleet community. Federal fleet management is a priority of

the Office of Management and Budget as they move

towards a more evaluation and compliance oriented

management agenda. The Fleet Review Initiative is a major

focus of FedFleet 2005. It is the ideal venue to familiarize

you with the recommendations of the Fleet Review

Initiative. The agenda has been planned to help you prepare

for improving the management and operation of the

Federal fleet. With the Federal fleet receiving more

visibility, let’s use this to our advantage. We can use our

expertise and experience to correct longstanding

problems. We have the unique opportunity to enact major

and beneficial change. This will create a more positive,

efficient, and effective Federal fleet environment as well as

impact the overall performance of the Federal government. 

Be sure to visit with all of the exhibitors to discuss the

challenges you face and how they can provide the

assistance you need. We appreciate the support and

participation of our exhibitors. Take advantage of all

FedFleet 2005 offers you over the next three days. I hope

you learn a lot, meet many new associates, have a lot of

fun, and return to work with a fresh perspective and ready

to implement change. 

Enjoy your stay and experience some of the warmth and

charm Nashville has to offer. FedFleet 2005 and Nashville

is where your dreams become reality for honky tonk fleet

professionals like us! Enjoy!

Greetings 

FedFleet 2005 Attendees:

On behalf of the National FedFleet Steering Committee,

I welcome you to FedFleet 2005 here in the friendly city

of Nashville. Along with our partners, GSA FLEET

and the GSA Vehicle Management Policy Division, we feel we

have developed a comprehensive program of workshops and

exhibits which offer something of interest for all of you.

Some of you may remember our first FedFleet conference in

1998 where we had a “sellout” crowd of over 300 attendees.

We felt it was quite a feat to gather that many Federal fleet

managers in one place. Contrast that with last years

conference where we had over 1,300 attendees, and the

growth of our organization is evident. However, while

increasing the number of attendees each year is desirable, we

need to foster greater local participation nationwide. To this

end, we have, to date, established nine local FedFleet

chapters nationwide with plans to expand further. These

chapters serve as conduits for information to flow from them

to the national chapter and allow us to communicate to you

the latest developments concerning your fleets. Your

participation in local chapters will ensure that your concerns

and opinions will have a voice and your mutual experiences

will be shared to solve common problems. To find out more

about the local chapters or to discuss establishing a new

chapter, stop by the FedFleet booth in the exhibit area and we

will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Once again, welcome and we hope you enjoy the conference.

Rickey Matheny is this year’s winner of the Annual

Alternative Fuels, Conservation, and Awareness

Award. Mr. Matheny, is responsible for the

leadership role of vehicle fleet management of eighteen

vehicle dispatchers/managers and assigning vehicles to

over 1300 employees at the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) Region 5, which provides services to six

states. In this supervising position he is responsible for

selecting and monitoring vehicle acquisitions and

replacement vehicles; monitoring accidents claims, and

maintenance and repair issues; and providing the region

year. He coordinates the movement of 96 vehicles as

customer-reserved-transportation travel inside and

outside the Chicago facility from across country.

He is also responsible for monitoring and ensuring EPA

compliance with Executive Order (E.O.) 13149 and the

Energy Policy Act of 1992. Mr. Matheny reviews monthly

E85 usage and regular petroleum consumption prepared

a daily basis, which will allow for a more effective and

efficient green fleet. 

Mr. Matheny, in four years converted 82 vehicles to

alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and now with a vehicle

fleet of 96 AFVs has accomplished the goal of being in

compliance with E.O. 13149. Region 5, led the way in

ethanol usage with a fleet of 96 vehicles using 70 percent

petroleum consumption and 30 percent ethanol for FY

As we continue our grassroots

efforts to build partnerships

throughout the Federal

community, and with other public and

private sector fleet organizations, we

are proud to inform you that we have

added a ninth local FedFleet chapter

that was established in Saint Louis,

MO, on November 4, 2004. 

We thank all of our dedicated local

FedFleet chapter members who have

helped us in our grassroot efforts to

improve Federal fleet policy, through

participation, collaboration and

overall sharing of information with us

during the past year. We believe that

we are moving in the right direction

that will result in much improved

relationships in the Federal fleet

community which will profoundly

impact the overall Federal fleet policy

decision-making process.

I know many of you feel that we

should let bygones be bygones. But

after working with some people for a

number of years, we sometimes

reflect back on past years (especially

those of us who are moving on in

years). So in reflecting back (rear

viewing) on past years, my thoughts

go back to two former GSA

Associates. Some of you have

known them for many years, they

have moved into retirement (morning

and afternoon naps), William “Bill”

Rivers and John “Q-Man” Adams.

This is the second National FedFleet

Workshop since Bill departed in

January 2004 and the first since QMan departed in January 2005. I

don’t know how everyone else feels,

but believe me, we in the Office of

Governmentwide Policy, Vehicle

Management Policy Division miss

these two individuals’ presences

from time to time. They were very

knowledgeable individuals regarding

Federal fleet management policy

issues. 

Now it is time for our FedFleet 2005

Workshop and Information Fair; my

how time flies by when you’re having

fun. It’s hard to believe that a whole

year has passed since we held our

2004 FedFleet in beautiful New York

City. 

From all of the local FedFleet

chapters: Golden Gate, Puget

Sound, Greater Columbia River,

Fairbanks, Anchorage, Salt Lake City,

Boise, Kansas City and St. Louis,

welcome to FedFleet 2005 Workshop

and Information Fair. ■

Federal Fleet Report 

Now Available

The fiscal year 2004 Federal Fleet Report is now

available at the General Services Administration’s

Internet website at www.gsa.gov/policy. The Report

is produced by GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy,

Vehicle Management Policy Division. 

This year marks the first major revision of the Report

since it was re-formatted in 1998 to take advantage of

graphical pie and bar charts to represent the detailed

tabular data. The Report is now designed to provide a

more realistic view of the Federal motor vehicle fleet,

sorting vehicles into either passenger-carrying or truck

categories. We have also re-designed the Report’s charts

and graphs to provide a better representation of trend

data. Lastly, we have added vehicle categories for

passenger vans and sport utility vehicles, and are

including special purpose vehicles in their respective

vehicle and weight categories (special purpose vehicles

were previously excluded from the Report.).

Of special note is the Report’s re-designed executive

summary. The summary provides an overall view of the

Federal motor vehicle fleet leaving the details of vehicle

ownership and source to other sections within the Report.

Within the executive summary, there are 5-year trends on

motor vehicle inventory, acquisitions, miles traveled, fuel

consumed, and operating costs. These trend charts show

where the Federal fleet has come from, gives indications

of where the fleet is headed, and indicates areas of

interest for planning purposes. 

Overall, we believe you will be very satisfied with our

Report. Please let us know if you have any questions or

comments concerning the Report’s content or data. We

can also email you copies of the Report if the Internet is

not available to you. All questions and correspondence

should be directed to:

The Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) is a joint

endeavor by the General Services Administration, the

Department of Energy, and the Energy Information

Administration. FAST captures data provided by all

government agencies for the Federal Fleet Report; and the

Department of Energy mandates involving alternative fuel

vehicles, petroleum and alternative fuel consumption, and

vehicle location.

Don’t forget to attend the FAST training sessions at FedFleet

2005 to get the latest information on system changes and

enhancements. This is also the venue for asking questions.

The FAST workshop sessions will be held on Tuesday, June 7th

at 2:00 pm and 3:30 pm. ■

GSA, Office of

Governmentwide Policy,

Vehicle Management Policy

Division plans to publish an

amendment to the Federal

Management Regulation (FMR) 102-

34— Motor Vehicle Management,

later this summer. The amendment

will include changes to the regulation

that have been planned for some time

and in some cases are already being

put into practice, but have not been

formally codified in FMR 102-34. For

example, the requirements to obtain

Government license plates from

UNICOR, Federal Prison Industries

and the corresponding elimination of

the requirement for Federal agencies,

operating vehicles primarily in the

District of Columbia (DC), to obtain

US Government tags from the DC

Department of Motor Vehicles, have

already been implemented. The

upcoming regulatory amendment

codifies these requirements.

Furthermore, the proposed

amendment puts into regulatory form

the reporting requirement, which has

been observed for several years of

reporting governmentwide vehicle

information to GSA via the FAST

system. We also plan to publish in

this regulatory amendment the

requirement stemming from the Fleet

Review Initiative (FRI) that agencies

implement a vehicle management

information system. Other vehicle

management recommendations from

the FRI may be later published as

regulatory requirements after we

have completed our discussions with

the Office of Management and

Budget on those proposed

requirements. However, because we

know the other recommendations in

the FRI are best practices for vehicle

management, Federal agencies

should feel free to implement them

even though they are not yet codified

in FMR 102-34. ■

I

n April 2002, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

asked the head of each agency to review their fleet

management operations. The Federal fleet community

listened and has been eagerly working on improving the

management and use of the Federal motor vehicle fleet. The

Federal Fleet Policy Council and the GSA, Office of

Governmentwide Policy (OGP) coordinating with OMB

developed recommendations for improving the management

and operations of the Federal fleet. Agencies have

embraced these recommendations and have included them

in their management agendas. 

GSA, OGP will continue to pursue publishing the

recommendations in 41 CFR 102-34, Motor Vehicle

Management to codify the initiatives. We will also issue

advisory bulletins to give you the information you need to

incorporate these into your management agendas. Agency

meetings with OGP are currently being scheduled which

gives you a voice about fleet issues you are concerned about.

As a result of the Fleet Review Initiative, OGP has also

contracted for the development of a Federal Fleet

Management Desk Reference Guide and a Training Plan for

Federal Fleet Managers. 

The Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) has been

updated to include the OMB, A-11 budget data call to

consolidate all the fleet reporting requirements into one

system. FAST will also be updated to capture information

on your agency and activities you are pursuing to improve the

management and use of your fleet. FAST will enable OGP to

capture the data required to analyze your fleet and offer

recommendations for improved management. 

Stay tuned to www.gsa.gov/vehcilepolicy for updates on the

Fleet Review Initiative.

While at FedFleet 2005 be sure to attend the following

sessions to help you implement the recommendations

of the Fleet Review Initiative:

• Finance & Costing Strategies

• Activity-Based Costing for Fleet Managers

• Basic Fleet Management

• Fleet Management Review Initiative

• Determining the Optimum Mix for Fleet/Vehicle

Allocation Methodology

• Safety and Accident Management

• The Art of Data Analysis

I

began my career at GSA, Region

9 in what was then Motor

Equipment Division, San

Francisco, California on September

10, 1969. Shortly thereafter, I

became the very first nationwide

Motor Equipment Management

Trainee, completing the program in

January 1974 and becoming the

manager of the no longer existing

Oakland California Motor Pool.

Between 1974 and 1997 I held every

position from Motor Pool Manager

to Regional Fleet Manager within

Region 9 until my transfer to GSA,

Office of Governmentwide Policy,

Vehicle Management Policy

Division in Washington, DC during

August 1997. 

During my journey at GSA, I’ve

seen fleet management evolve

within GSA from motor pools to

fleet management centers. I have

also seen vehicles improve from an

all Gray fleet, with the only

accessories being steering wheels,

brakes, heaters and windows, to

a/c, p/s, p/b, p/w, radios, CDs, multicolors and most of the accessories

one will find on most privately

owned vehicles.

During my career I’ve enjoyed

meeting, interacting and networking

with thousands of people inside and

outside of government. Many of

those that I became acquainted with

through the years, I now consider to

be life long friends. 

As I move to retirement I just want

to say thanks to each of you that I

met and have known during my

career for making every day of it

such a wonderful and joyful

experience. I will miss each of you

in a special way and I just hope your

journey will be half as pleasant and

enjoyable as mine was. ■
