Fleet Transport Policy Review and Recommendations

Decision Maker: Strategic Director of Regeneration and Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To implement recommendations found through a policy review process.

 

The current Policy was published in 2015 and is no longer fit for purpose.

The Fleet department has undergone significant change in the last 24 months, and enhancements to the driver training programme have been introduced as well as improved management of Goods Vehicle Operator Licensing compliance. It is now necessary to reflect this within a revised edition.

 

A cabinet report dated March ’23 also refers to the corporatisation of fleet acquisition, usage and disposal and will be included in the policy refresh.

 

It is also relevant to include new policy content around fleet telematics and drug/alcohol misuse, as these are commonplace industry practices and necessary elements of fleet policy.
