The Government of Saskatchewan is saving money following measures to reduce government vehicle costs. As a result, the 2018-19 Budget amount for government’s Central Vehicle Agency is reduced by more than $5.0 million.
Procurement also played a role in government’s overall vehicle costs. For new vehicles, government has saved taxpayers’ dollars by partnering with Alberta and British Columbia to purchase vehicles. A similar approach was also taken for the purchase of items like tires and windshields.
In addition, a one-year pilot project was conducted in Saskatoon, Prince Albert and North Battleford, using private-sector short-term vehicle rentals for government business. This resulted in $275,000 in travel savings.
Additional benefits were also realized as a result of this pilot project, including access to newer vehicles, more flexible hours of service from vehicle providers and more drop-off and pick-up locations.
Further work is underway to expand the pilot project across the province, for an estimated $400,000 in savings. Government expects to launch the expanded service this spring.
