UC DAVIS: TRANSPORTATION AND PARKING SERVICES

****PLEASE POST AND CIRCULATE****

June 25, 2003

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND CAMPUS/UCDHS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

SUBJECT: Fleet Services 2003-04 Rates

The majority of Fleet Services' vehicle rates will remain unchanged for 
2003-04.  The impact of the State budget on the Davis campus, however, has 
required Fleet Services to increase its rates in a few areas.   Please read 
the information below for an update on rates.  Fleet Services' rates can be 
reviewed at http://www.fleet.ucdavis.edu/rates/.

ASSIGNED AND POOL VEHICLES:
Monthly and daily rates for assigned and pool vehicles will remain at 
2002-03 levels. Fleet Services continues to offer daily rental rates which 
are 2.2% lower on average than commercial rental agencies in Northern 
California. Monthly lease rates are even less. When comparing Fleet 
Services' rates to commercial rental agencies it is necessary to add sales 
tax, cost of fuel and campus parking permits (if needed) to commercial prices.

INTERCAMPUS EXCHANGE BUS (BERKELEY BUS):
Ticket prices for the Intercampus Exchange Bus will remain at $5.50 for a 
one-way ticket. The rate will be reviewed this summer which may result in a 
ticket price increase in Fall 2003. Please note that there have been 
changes to the bus schedule for 2003-04; see directive #03-065 at 
http://directives.ucdavis.edu/2003/03-065.cfm for more details.

CHARTER BUS PROGRAM:
The rates for Fleet Services' Charter Bus Program will increase an average 
of 14.3% effective July 1, 2003. This is the final year of a three-year 
rate adjustment plan approved by the campus Rate Group to make this program 
self-supporting. Even with the rate increase, Fleet's charter bus rates are 
substantially less than our nearest competitor who charges an average of 
98% more per trip than Fleet Services. Scheduled trips that were quoted 
using the 2002-03 rates will be honored.

FUEL CHARGES:
Actual fuel costs will continue to be passed through to the customer for 
assigned (monthly lease) vehicles. A Per Mile rate will be charged for Pool 
(daily rental) vehicles to recover fuel costs. The Per Mile rate will be 
adjusted throughout the year as fuel costs fluctuate.

AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE
Automobile liability and physical damage insurance costs are pass-through 
rates to Fleet Services. The rates to the campus will be adjusted for 
2003-04 when received from the Office of the President.

If you have questions regarding Fleet Services' rates, please contact the 
Fleet Services Reservation/Dispatch Desk at 530-752-0787 or Business 
Manager Scott Sheaman at 530-752-9667 or mssheaman@ucdavis.edu. For 
assistance with reviewing options for reducing transportation expenses, 
please contact Assistant Manager Barbara Greene at 530-752-9666 or 
btgreene@ucdavis.edu. If you have suggestions that might improve the 
services offered by Fleet Services, please contact Manager Jack Harris at 
530-752-7451 or jrharris@ucdavis.edu.

Sincerely,

Clifford A. Contreras
Director
