Are state-owned vehicles assigned to specific operators?
It varies. Some vehicles are assigned to specific employees based on their job classification and the needs of the agency. Most vehicles are pool vehicles within an agency, and can be operated by different drivers each day.
According to General Letter No. 115 - The Policy for Motor Vehicles Used for State Business (PDF), there are different circumstances for the assignments of state-owned vehicles within each individual agency. When an agency makes the request for the vehicle assignment, DAS Fleet Operations reviews it for appropriateness and compliance with GL-115 before making an assignment.
