BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Erie County Comptroller's Office is calling for a better way to track and manage county vehicles, after an audit of the Bureau of Fleet Services found 365 vehicles unaccounted for.
"There's a lot of work that needs to be done," Erie County Comptroller Kevin Hardwick said.
This story was first brought to light in a recent Buffalo News article.
The county owns more than 1,200 vehicles, at a cost of around $10 million per year. This includes leased and owned vehicles.
Mary Hosler, Erie County Deputy Comptroller of Audits, went over it with me. It shows 365 unaccounted county vehicles.
"An example of somebody that had a car, and the person who signed off on it didn't know they had a car," Hosler said.
