Section 1-17-2a - State-owned or leased vehicles; travel from employee's residence to his or her official work station

(a)

(1) State-owned or leased motor vehicles shall not be used to commute between the employee's residence and the employee's official work station, except:

(A) when parking the vehicle at the official work station overnight subjects the vehicle to a high risk of vandalism;

(B) when the vehicle is used by an official or employee who is regularly called to duty after normal work hours in connection with law enforcement activities or dealing with emergencies which result from an act of God; or

(C) for trip vehicles assigned to the traveler, on the evening of the work day immediately preceding the date of travel or the evening of the workday in which travel is completed.

(2) When the state-owned or leased motor vehicle is authorized to be used for travel to an employee's place of residence under paragraphs (1)(A) and (1)(B), the "reasonable distance" one-way between the employee's official work station and residence shall not exceed 10 miles unless the 10-mile limitation is specifically exempted by the secretary or the secretary's designee. For trip vehicles assigned to a traveler under paragraph (1)(C), "reasonable distance" shall be based on a determination that driving the vehicle home will not increase the total one-way trip mileage between the official work station and the destination by more than 10 miles.

(b) This regulation shall not apply to:

(1) an employee whose residence has been designated as the official work station because over 50% of the employee's work time involves direct travel from his or her residence; or

(2) state-owned or leased motor vehicles acquired or assigned for use in the state vanpool program.
