Abstract
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) operates a transportation system that provides motor pool, shuttle bus, delivery, moving, and vehicle maintenance services to the NIH community. Included in its fleet of 235 vehicles are those dedicated to police, fire safety, maintenance, housekeeping, and other support functions. That transportation system costs NIH $4.2 million a year. The NIH wants to ensure that it has the appropriate internal controls in place for the transportation system and it wants to understand what parts of that program can be administered cost effectively using contract labor and equipment.
