Show full summary
  • Small businesses: Covered small businesses that provide ground transportation could buy vehicles from the GSA supply schedule at cost. Purchases are limited to 50 vehicles per fiscal year and each vehicle must be used in paid passenger service for at least 2 years unless it becomes inoperable. If a vehicle is sold earlier the operator must reimburse the Administrator the difference between open market value and the amount paid.
  • Local nonprofits: At least one in every five vehicles bought through the pilot must be donated to a local nonprofit after it is no longer used to provide ground transportation service.
  • Communities and environment: The Administrator must report annually on participation, cost savings, operational improvements, and environmental impacts such as reductions in vehicle emissions due to fleet modernization. The pilot would end three years after enactment unless changed.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Cheaper fleet buying for small transport firms

If enacted, GSA would set up a pilot within 60 days. Small businesses that provide ground transportation could buy vehicles at cost through the GSA schedule. They would choose from the same selection pool available under federal programs named in the bill. Eligible services include taxis, limos, shuttles, over-the-road buses, sedans, paratransit, and non-emergency medical transport. The pilot would last 3 years, and GSA could issue rules.

New limits for small transport fleet purchases

Small ground-transport businesses in the pilot would face a 50-vehicle cap per fiscal year. They would have to use each purchased vehicle for at least two years, unless it becomes inoperable. If they sell early and the vehicle still works, they would repay the difference between the open market value and what they paid. After a vehicle leaves service, at least one out of every five must be donated to a local nonprofit. These rules would apply while the 3-year pilot runs.
