Federal Fleet Management Training

A/B style U.S. Government License Plates look very much


like the existing license plates in your fleet.
The primary difference in appearance is the bar code on
each plate and the letter A or B in the lower left
corner next to the agency logo.
FMVRS is being redesigned to have two records for each
license plate pairan A and a B plate.
The status of each plate is tracked from the date of
manufacture until returned for destruction.
The plate number is active until BOTH plates are returned
for destruction.

Federal Fleet Management Training

Bar Code on Each


Plate Contains:
Plate Number,
Expiration Date, &
A or B

Each Plate Has


an A or B
Printed On It

Experience has shown that a pair of plates very often goes


in two different directions. It is impossible to track the
status of both license plates using one record for a twoplate pair.

Federal Fleet Management Training

Experience has shown that a pair of plates very often goes


in two different directions:
On the vehicle
In storage
Lost / Stolen
Ebay
Destroyed
On another vehicle

Federal Fleet Management Training

Even more reasons:


Old Style license plates vs New Style license plates with
the same plate number can also be a problem to sort out
in FMVRS
Incorrect expiration dates manually recorded when plates
leave the factory cause problems when they are returned
for destruction and dont match the FMVRS record.
A/B license plates will solve this by using bar code
scanning to create FMVRS records and to update status
upon return to UNICOR for destruction.

Federal Fleet Management Training

Nothing!
Once begun, A/B license plates will become the standard
Federal license plate design
All new plates will be issued in this design
Bar code readers are not required at your agency
Continue to use existing plates until they are excess
