Fleet Specialty Card Management – Pacific Area

The U.S. Postal Service operates one of the largest vehicle fleets in the U.S. In fiscal year (FY) 2017, the Postal Service used 205,997 vehicles, primarily to deliver and collect mail. Each of these Postal owned vehicles are issued a fleet card to pay for commercially purchased fuel, oil, and maintenance expenses up to $300. In addition to these cards, the Postal Service has fleet specialty cards. Fleet specialty cards are issued to each facility with assigned vehicles and to Vehicle Maintenance Facilities (VMF) to pay for maintenance or repairs over $300. The objective of our audit was to assess the effectiveness of controls over fleet specialty cards for delivery operations in the Pacific Area.
