Agency Real Property Profile
Per the Federal Real Property Profile, DOT uses 34.8 million square feet of space, of which, 23.3 million square feet is Federally owned and 11.5 million square feet is leased. The graph to the right shows the different types of space DOT uses. The DOT Real Property Portfolio is comprised mainly of Navigation and Traffic Aids and Communication Systems that support the National Airspace System (NAS) run by the FAA. The "All Others" slice of the graph is made up of numerous minor categories that includes laboratories, hospitals, prisons & detention centers and industrial buildings.
Reduction in Real Property Usage
DOT’s goal for cost savings by the end of the fiscal year 2012 is $40 million. The chart “Progress Towards the Goal” identifies what the Department has achieved to date in real property cost savings.
Breakdown of Reduction
DOT’s savings primarily come from Space Management initiatives through disposed assets. In FY2010 and FY2011, DOT disposed of 4,676 assets through administrative and technical space consolidation initiatives and are on track to dispose of thousands more in FY2012. Additional cost savings will also be achieved from Sustainability and Innovation efforts.
