General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Lurita Doan was scheduled to deliver remarks as part of the event's opening session. GSA is a co-sponsor of FedFleet 2007.

“GSA plays several roles when it comes to the fleet: We help develop governmentwide policy; we buy, sell and lease vehicles, and we have our own GSA fleet,” Doan said. “We are committed to providing world-class fleet services at the lowest possible cost. This is a formula that will yield major dividends for our customers, our citizens and our environment.”

FedFleet 2007 – which is expected to draw 1,300 attendees – is comprised of the Federal Fleet Manager Workshop and Information Fair and the Aviation Safety Officer Workshop.

The mission of the FedFleet Workshop is to provide a forum for federal fleet and aviation professionals from all agencies at all levels to discuss regulatory and legislative issues, to explore new technological advances, to provide fleet-specific training and to provide an atmosphere for interaction to discuss common problems and best practices.

Conference training sessions will include “Measuring Your Fleet's Performance”; “OMB's Perspective on Planning, Budgeting and Performance in Federal Fleet Management”; “EPACT and E.O. 13149 and 13423 – Lessons Learned and Moving Forward”; and “Overcoming Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Barriers.”

Additional sessions will address:

• Where the management and operation of the federal fleet is headed.
  
• How to enact the beneficial changes needed in federal fleet management.
  
• Trends, technological advances and best practices.
  
• Ways to decrease costs and increase productivity.
  
• How to make fleet operation and management as efficient and cost-effective as possible.

The Aviation Safety Officer Workshop will cover areas ranging from aviation psychology and human factors to safely managing aging aircraft and basic accident investigations.
