FAST: Continuing the Focus on Data Quality

Abstract

This presentation provides an overview of fiscal year 2019 federal motor vehicle fleet data, collected at the individual vehicle level during the fall of 2019, how the the collecting project has reviewed that information for potential quality issues, how the quality of this year's data submission compare to the prior year, and recommendations for federal agencies in their efforts to continue to improve the quality of their submissions. This presentation will be given at the January 2020 FedFleet training event, hosted by the US General Services Administration in Washington, DC. The information is collected through the Federal Automotive Statistical Tool (FAST) project. FAST is a Web-based information system managed by the US Department of Energy, the US General Services Administration, and the Energy Information Administration. FAST is used to collect information about the fleet of motor vehicles used and managed by the Federal government. FAST is developed and maintained by DOE's Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
