EXECUTIVE ORDER 2025-3
WHEREAS, beginning in February 2020, I focused on addressing the
surplus of vehicles owned by the State by issuing Executive Order 2020-04.
Subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic, I issued Executive Order 2023-14 to
downsize the state fleet due to the underutilization of state-owned vehicles
and their redundancy to the performance of government functions. Again, I am
dedicating state efforts to further reduce the number of state-owned vehicles
in operation.
NOW THEREFORE, to have all relevant information necessary to
make informed decisions regarding the State's remaining vehicle fleet, I, J.
Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, pursuant to the authority
vested in me by Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution and
to the fullest extent of Oklahoma law, do hereby direct and order as
follows:
(1) The administrative head
of every state agency, whether created by the Oklahoma Constitution or state
statute and including, but not limited to, the Department of Public Safety, the
Department of Transportation, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and
Dangerous Drugs Control, the Military Department of the State of Oklahoma, the
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, the Commissioners of the Land Office
and the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education, shall, no later than March
31, 2025, report to the office of Fleet Management in the Office of Management
and Enterprise services (OMES) (such report to be emailed to
fleet.system@omes.ok.gov) the make, model, year, and any VIN of any owned
vehicle under the control of the state agency with less than 15,000 miles of
usage in calendar year 2023. Special purpose vehicles, such as winter storm
salt trucks, are excluded from this reporting. This Executive Order shall apply
to all state-owned vehicles, irrespective of whether the vehicle was purchased
with state or federal funds or how "vehicle" is defined in Oklahoma statute or
administrative rule.
(2) For each
of the vehicles listed in the report mandated by paragraph 1 above, the report
shall also set forth the frequency of use, the purpose of the vehicle, and the
mileage driven for calendar year 2023. The report shall be in the form and
template developed by OMES Fleet Division in accordance with paragraph 2 of
Executive Order 2020-04.
(3) In
order to more accurately track the use of all State vehicles, the
administrative head of every state agency, whether created by the Oklahoma
Constitution or state statute, shall certify that all vehicles owned by the
State and under the control of the state agency have been equipped with an
automatic vehicle locator (AVL) and placed on the Fleet Management M5 System.
Such certification should be submitted with the report required by paragraph 1
and 2 above.
(4) The administrative
head of every state agency shall work with the office of Fleet Management in
OMES to return all state vehicles with less than 12,000 miles of usage in 2023
to OMES for proper disposition.
This Executive Order shall be distributed to all members of the
Governor's Executive Cabinet and the administrative heads and chief executives
of all state agencies, who shall cause the provisions of this Order to be
implemented forthwith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
this 23rd day of January, 2025.
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
