Fleet Maintenance Metrics
Performance Metrics are a tool we use to examine our function as a fleet management team.Data is collected from our fleet management software, and other sources, and translated into charts and graphs that illustrate trends, the results of our work efforts, and the effects of our policies.
Management analyzes this meaningful information, to find ways to implement changes that improve service to our customers, and employees. Some of the improvements are:
- Lower fuel costs by analyzing vehicle usage and routing to select the most efficient vehicles for the task
- Lower tail pipe emissions by reducing idle time, analyzing trip data
- Lower labor costs by assuring proper task to personnel ratios
- Higher vehicle reliability by analyzing and reducing mechanical failures to minimize missed trips

Transit Mean Distance Between Service Interruption

A mechanical failure is any incident that precludes a revenue vehicle from completing its trip or beginning its next scheduled trip.
