Agency Vehicles and Drivers
INFORMATION "HUB"
State employees provide an array of services to Washington citizens. Many services are quickly and efficiently delivered to the citizens of Washington via the telephone and/or computer from a central or regional state office. However, some state services are impossible to provide without direct interaction and contact with the citizen at their locale. In these cases, travel becomes an essential component of the services provided by these state employees. As a result, state employees delivering vital state services log millions of miles every year in both state and personally owned vehicles. Arriving safely is a key component of providing efficient service.
In fact, traffic safety is the main mission for many state agencies such as the Washington State Patrol, the Washington Department of Transportation, the Department of Licensing, and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to name a few. However, every state driver has an opportunity to promote safety on the state’s roads by adopting and displaying safe driving habits at all times that contribute to their personal safety as well as to the safety of fellow drivers and pedestrians.
The Agency Vehicles and Drivers “Hub” is intended to be a “one-stop-shopping” site. It is dedicated to those state employees who must transport themselves or others in vehicles to carry out their agency's mission. This website features statewide vehicle/driving policies, forms, education and training information, traffic safety links and more.
