Cost-Benefit Analysis of Implementing a Car-Sharing Model to the Navy's Passenger Vehicle Fleet
Abstract
The Navy leases more than 3,300 vehicles annually to commands and bases throughout the United States; however, the management model is antiquated, and there are now new fleet management options available. The purpose of this study is to examine the costs and benefits of utilizing a commercial car-sharing model or implementing a Fleet-Sharing solution to replace the current ownership model administered by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). We will use a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) framework to analyze a data set provided by NAVFAC for the Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville (JAX) locality and compare the net benefit of three available alternatives. The first alternative is continued operation with the current model (Status Quo). The second alternative is replacement of the current model with a contractor operated commercial car-sharing model. The third alternative involves integrating a fleet management hardware/software solution (fleet-sharing). The goal of this CBA is to compare alternatives in order to identify the one with the highest net benefit. The data set conclusively supports alternative three, which provides a reduced initial cost versus the status quo and a cumulative net present value. Therefore, we recommend implementing a fleet-sharing solution to the existing fleet at NAS JAX.
