A vehicle ramp deployment apparatus is mounted on a vehicle, for deploying a ramp from a vehicle body and retracting the ramp into the vehicle body. The vehicle ramp deployment apparatus includes an electric motor configured to drive the ramp for a deploying or retracting operation, an ECU configured to execute driving control of the electric motor and to execute stop retaining control of the electric motor to retain a stopped state of the electric motor, and a pulse sensor configured to detect rotation of the electric motor. The ECU is configured to shift from the stop retaining control to power save control in response to detection, with the rotation sensor, of the electric motor having not been rotated for a predetermined time period.
