Purpose

This manual prescribes policies, responsibilities and procedural requirements for implementing Government-wide regulations pertaining to official use and management of Coast Guard (CG) owned, leased and rental motor vehicles, including use for Home-To- Work (HTW) transportation. These policies and procedures are mandatory for CG units. Where conflicts exist between this manual and other CG publications, the provisions of this manual will take precedence.

Provisions of this manual apply to the use of Government motor vehicles by CG employees or contractors, whether or not the transportation is provided by Government drivers or chauffeurs. Except as specifically noted, this manual does not apply to (1) the use of Government passenger vehicles in conjunction with official travel, including Temporary Assigned Duty (TAD) away from place of employment, or (2) the use of Private Motor Vehicles (PMV). Regulations covering the use of Government passenger vehicles for TAD assignments away from the place of employment are contained in the Joint Federal Travel Regulation (JFTR), Chapter 3.
