Update of the Numbers
Good news:
Fatalities are way down from high in 1990’s
Continuous decrease until last year (2012)
Fatality rate per 100 million miles traveled (Vehicle Miles Traveled – VMT) was 1.10 - the lowest ever recorded
Incidence of alcohol-related fatalities at historic lowSlide5
Update of the Numbers (continued)
Now the bad news:
Leading cause of occupational deaths is driving
10.5 % increase (2012 over 2011) of pedestrian related distraction (e.g. texting) fatalities
$60 Billion cost impact to employers (NHTSA, 2000)
Number of vehicle related employee collision lawsuits increases annuallySlide6
Summary
Someone dies every 12 minutes in a crash
Someone is injured every 10 seconds
A crash occurs every 5 seconds in the USSlide7

emissions
Federal and state incentives for green fleets
Demonstrates good corporate stewardshipSlide10
Another Best Practices Idea
Go Green!
Reduce fuel consumption while helping to reduce carbon emissions
Promotes an eco-friendly model
Defensive driving with value added
Saves the company money!Slide11
Examples of Ways to $
ave
on Fuel
Drive sensibly without sudden starts and stops
Savings: Up to 5%
Obey the speed limit and reduce your speed
Savings: 7 – 14% reduction in fuel consumption
Avoid Idling Whenever Possible
Savings: Varies but saves $ Slide12
Examples of Ways to $
ave
on Fuel
Remove excessive weight
Savings: Up to 2% reduction in fuel consumption per 100 lbs.
Pace yourself / Anticipate hazards / construction / weather
Savings: Varies but get’s expensive if you leave late, speed and get a ticket, or crash

.
Check your tire pressure regularly
Savings: Boosts mileage by 3% and prevents premature failure Slide13
Examples of Ways to $

on Fuel
7.
Keep windows rolled up at higher speeds
Savings: Up to 2 miles per gallon
8.
Minimize (or avoid) use of your air conditioner
Savings – Between 3 and 10% fuel saving and less pollution 9. Properly maintain your vehicle Savings: Depends. Example: Correct oil can boost mileage by about 3% Slide14
Best Practices Next Steps
Review existing components of your driver training/safety program
Audit prior collisions / incidents to determine root causes & become proactive
Utilize an outside firms(s) to evaluate training needs and provide training
Desired Outcome
: Develop a comprehensive best practices fleet programSlide15
Best Practices for Green
Fleet Operators
Vehicle selection is where it begins.
Options include: electric
plug-in and hybrid electrics
ethanol flexible fuel vehicles (
EFV’s
)
compressed natural gas (
CNG
)
higher-mileage vehicles (includes diesel)Slide16
Best Practices for Green
Fleet Operators
Vehicles with top fuel economy:
Electric – 105 to 119 MPG (conversion)
Nissan Leaf
Chevrolet Spark
Honda Fit
Fiat 500eSlide17

Best Practices for Green
Fleet OperatorsSlide24
Drive to reduce fuel consumption
☐ Accelerate smoothly – no jack-rabbit starts
☐ Stabilize your vehicle in traffic and maintain steady speed
☐ Anticipate traffic, stoplights and other hazards
☐ Decelerate using engine drag
☐ Avoid high speeds
Before you drive
☐ Reduce miles driven or drive a lower fuel cost vehicle
☐ Plan ahead –use mapping or other trip planning tools
☐ Combine trips whenever possible
☐ Measure and log fuel consumption
☐ Ensure your emotions and driving attitude is positive
Other strategies for increasing fuel economy
☐ Avoid unnecessary idling / stop engine whenever appropriate☐ Coast whenever possible to avoid constant acceleration☐ Measure tire pressure monthly ☐ Remove roof or tool boxes/ racks not in use☐ Avoid carrying unnecessary weight☐ Use air conditioning sparingly☐ Use cruise control to avoid excessive accelerationSlide25

5).
Measure, track and reward successes
Develop a system to measure green fleet efforts
Analyze success and failures; constant reinforcement
Provide reward incentives for employees groups who reduce fuel consumption and corresponding emissions.Slide26
