Vehicle Use at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
The main site of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore) occupies one square mile. For on-site transportation of its 7,300 full-time equivalent employees, Livermore leased vehicles from General Services Administration (GSA), operated a taxi service, and provided bicycles. A network of sidewalks and paved trails was available for persons bicycling or walking between site facilities. In
Fiscal Year 1999 Livermore leased about 1,260 motor vehicles from GSA at a cost of about $3.6 million.

Inspection of Gain Sharing Opportunities for the Department of Energy
In 1995, the General Services Administration provided guidance on a program known as “GAIN SHARING” where agencies could give cash awards to employees who participate in programs to save travel dollars. This guidance discussed the authority to offer cash awards to employees for obtaining a free coach class ticket with Frequent Flyer benefits earned on official travel and for
incurring lodging expenses at a daily rate less than the maximum lodging rate.
This inspection was initiated to determine if the Department of Energy (DOE) had developed any initiatives to implement General Services Administration guidance on “GAIN SHARING.”
