I Details /Action The recommendation is to reduce city fuel consumption by 5% for <br />2 2009. The no idle policy, as well as efficient driving training, and <br />3 route planning will help reduce fuel use. Monthly fuel usage <br />4 updates by department and vehicle will be provided for review, <br />5 upon request of the Fleet Manager. <br />0 <br />7 Cost/Saving we don't have final amounts in yet for 2008, but the goal would be <br />8 to realize a savings of at least 5% overall in gallons consumed. <br />9 Dollar amount will be added after final numbers are in. <br />10 <br />11 Responsible <br />12 Staff Each Department <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 3.5 In -Car AVL Systems (Automated Vehicle Locating Systems) <br />16 <br />17 Background As part of fuel conservation recommendations, in -car AVL units can help <br />18 plan work routes for efficiency. They help identify operational duplication and areas for <br />19 fleet improvement. Job productivity may improve and inefficiencies decrease when <br />20 speeding and idling are identified and curtailed. AVL systems help monitor unnecessary <br />21 use of vehicles, promote safer driver habits, and curb wasted travel time. Staff has <br />22 viewed a web -demo and is currently in the process of a vehicle based AVL demonstration <br />23 by installing 3 units to evaluate if they would be feasible for certain applications in the <br />24 Roseville fleet. <br />25 <br />20 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />30 <br />37 <br />38 <br />39 <br />40 <br />41 <br />42 <br />43 <br />44 <br />45 <br />40 <br />47 <br />48 <br />Policy /Goals To determine if in -car AVL systems would work for Roseville. <br />Details /Action If the demo goes well, a recommendation will be made for <br />installing vehicle based AVL systems as a tool to manage fleet <br />vehicles. <br />Cost/Saving <br />Timeline <br />Responsible <br />Staff <br />Variable <br />Variable <br />Departments <br />3.6 Training — Encourage and Enforce Fuel Efficient Driving Habits <br />Background UPS and other companies with large fleets use route planning software <br />and employee training to achieve desired fuel consumption reductions. Several methods <br />to reduce fuel usage involve changing habits. City of Roseville employees have not had <br />any formal training in driving for fuel reduction. <br />Policy /Goal To reduce fuel consumption by more efficient driving. <br />41 <br />
