Utilization Target Point Calculation

Calculate the “Utilization Target Point” for each type of vehicle by multiplying the average usage by 25% (.25) for each type. For the example above, the Utilization Target Points would be:

 

Motor Vehicle Type 

Utilization Target Point

Sedans/Station Wagons 

2,150 miles

Ambulances 

600 miles

Buses: 

 

    Intercity 

3,570 miles

    City 

3,241 miles

    School 

4,110 miles

Trucks  

 

    Less than 12,500 pounds GVWR 

2,691 miles

    12,500-23,999 pounds GVWR 

2,163 miles

    24,000 pounds GVWR and over 

1,612 miles
