This directive takes effect on November 1, 2006.
This directive applies to all departments as defined in section 2 of the Financial
Administration Act, unless specific acts or regulations override it.
This directive applies only to the management of light‑duty vehicles that are licensed in Canada and operated
as part of the federal government's vehicle fleet.
While the Policy on Management of Materiel provides direction for the management of departmental
materiel assets throughout their life cycle, this directive contains additional direction related specifically
to the management of light‑duty vehicles.
The federal fleet of motor vehicles represents a significant capital and ongoing operation and maintenance expense
to the government. Although this fleet is managed and operated at the departmental level, adherence to a common set of
specific mandatory requirements is critical to its effective management and operation. Guidelines and best practices
specific to fleet management and ground transportation have been developed to help departments comply with the
requirements of this directive.
This directive is issued pursuant to the Financial
Administration Act, subsections 7(1)(a) and 9(2).
Definitions to be used in the interpretation of this directive can be found in Appendix A.
