Vehicle and Equipment Pool Rate Update

July 11, 2018

In 2018 a detailed review of TRCA’s vehicle and equipment pool took place with the objectives of improving the effectiveness of the pool in serving TRCA’s various programs and projects, improving the recoverability of vehicle costs based on real data, simplifying the variety of rates in place for like assets, and to increase the overall information available about our vehicles to better understand our impact and how to continuously improve.

As a result, the following items will be taking effect for the second half of 2018:

• Inclusion of telematics devices within fleet vehicles to provide relevant vehicle specific information in the coming months.
• Reduction in the variety of recovery rate types, to reduce confusion among users and to simplify budgeting for Program Managers.
• For annual recoveries a current monthly charge, rather than annual charge, will be applied to improve the timeliness of variance reporting for Supervisors and Managers
• Application of a stand by rate for vehicles reserved and not used, to be effective for Fall 2018.

As a result of the above technologies, process improvements and rate recoverability, a moderately increased capital acquisition budget is expected for future years, to meet the growing needs of TRCA’s projects and programs.

For more information about the items above, including detailed rate information, please reach out to Aubrey Orr, Supervisor, Fleet Management.
