Overview

When an agency requires the exclusive and long-term use of a motor vehicle in order to successfully meet agency mobility needs, the agency shall submit a request for a vehicle for permanent assignment.

General Letter 115 states the ATA must be “Ensuring that each agency employee who operates a motor vehicle on state business is aware of this policy and has the ability, knowledge, skill, experience and appropriate license to operate the type of vehicle assigned."

To routinely verify that agency employees hold the proper unrestricted license to operate a State-Owned vehicle, fill out the Driver Approval Request Form, and email it to DAS.Fleet@ct.gov. The mere presentation of an operator’s license with a valid expiration date, alone does not satisfy this requirement.
