(The Center Square) â A report issued by the Kentucky Legislative Research Commission last week called on the stateâs Finance and Administration Cabinet to improve several policies in regards to vehicle fleet management. That includes tracking underutilized vehicles and determining if independent fleets managed by five state agencies are effectively using public funds.
The 34-page report was the focus of a Legislative Oversight and Investigations Committee meeting in Frankfort on Thursday. Among the findings was 24.4% of the 3,793 cars, trucks and sports-utility vehicles leased in fiscal year 2019 were driven 5,000 miles or less.
In addition, 110 of the 459 vehicles state agencies bought also were driven less than 5,000 miles.
