AASHTO EFM-1, Decision Making for Outsourcing and Privatization of Vehicle and Equipment Fleet Maintenance (2012), presents a framework for conducting systematic analysis and making decisions on outsourcing and privatization of state fleet maintenance. The framework defines a decision process model that can be applied to a wide range of outsourcing decision alternatives. The process is presented as a step-by-step logic process that focuses on the unique features of state department of transportation fleet maintenance. The publication was prepared with the involvement of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Maintenance, whose officers and members are listed in the front matter. Because fleet maintenance supports highway and equipment operations across an agency, the framework addresses decisions that affect both service delivery and cost. Fleet managers and executives in state departments of transportation can use the report when evaluating outsourcing and privatization options.
