Vehicle Use Policy - Office of The Treasurer Tax Collector
OFFICE OF THE TREASURER & TAX COLLECTOR VEHICLE USE POLICY Mission Statement During the past five Fiscal Years, excluding Police, Fire and MUNI, City departments have been involved in 942 vehicle incidents that have resulted in claims against the City. The City has paid over $2.3 million as a result of those claims. In 2010, the City adopted a Driver’s Guide as a first step towards creating a Vehicle Use Policy (“VUP”). The Office of the Treasurer & Tax Collector (referred to herein as “The Department” or “Department”) maintains this Vehicle Use Policy which will serve as the guide to all employees of The Department in the appropriate usage of all city vehicles used and operated by any employee of The Department. This guide shall further help train all employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles, reinforce good driver training and techniques for experienced Department drivers, and establish a professional standard for all Department employees assigned to or required to use any city vehicle. This VUP shall help address the increase of costly claims, will help create the foundation for clear standards for all employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles, and will also help to better inform and educate all Department employees on how to proceed in the event that they are involved in an incident in a city vehicle as a driver or a passenger. This policy will explain clear guidelines for the proper usage of all vehicles, will develop clear duties and explain responsibilities which will meet, and in some instances exceed, the demands of the Citywide VUP. In some instances, where regular vehicle usage is acknowledged as a core function for specific Department employees performing specific job functions, new duties and requirements are set in place to better control, monitor and document the usage of any city vehicle within the department’s control. Another important purpose of the creation of this VUP is to set forth practices for the safe operation of motor vehicles owned and operated by The Department. This standardized policy will be incorporated as part of a new training and instruction program, which will be refreshed and enhanced for all Department employees, assigned to or required to use city vehicles. This VUP will serve as a baseline for all Department employees and will focus on licensed motor vehicles primarily operated on public roads. Policy The Department’s VUP coincides with the City’s commitment to maintaining a safe vehicle fleet, and concern for the safety of people, the protection of property, and the minimization of the impact upon the environment by City vehicle operations. This VUP focuses on the safe 1 operation of licensed motor vehicles primarily operated on public roads, which, in turn, further seeks to reduce the possibility and occurrence of vehicle damages, claims and/or injuries. In addition, it shall serve as a guide and inducement to encourage the use of alternative “green” transportation options for all Department employees whenever city transportation use is required. This Department’s VUP further seeks to support and promote the goals established by the City VUP, which is administered under the auspices of the Office of the City Administrator, which helps meet the demands placed on each department in order to implement and enhance standards which meet and, in some instances exceed, VUP developed through the adoption of a Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program, the recommended minimum requirements of which are stated in Appendix A. Nothing in this Department’s VUP shall be interpreted or applied to interfere with, restrict or supersede the citywide vehicle use policies or any Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”). Definitions Specific definitions for relevant terms shall be clearly defined and communicated to all staff authorized to drive a vehicle. Appendix A includes typical terms and standard definitions that shall be included within each department’s Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program (“Program”). Management, Leadership and Administration and its primary focus: The Department is committed to the responsible use of all city vehicles. The Department is further dedicated to successfully promoting the VUP as an integral component of The Department’s overall written safety program which shall be managed by a Department appointee. This VUP includes specific guidelines showing The Department’s commitment to the safety of people, the protection of property, and minimization and impact upon the environment by City vehicle operations. The Department’s VUP Program further commits a training program to cover all aspects of the VUP for all department employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles. In addition, this VUP shall help ensure that staff will adhere to not only all elements of the Program, but, in addition, shall adhere to all local, state and federal laws and regulations as they relate to vehicle operations. Written Plan This Department VUP shall meet the demands set forth within the Citywide Program and shall in some instances set forth further standards. This Department VUP shall further develop, adopt, and maintain Appendix A known as The Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program. This VUP shall also help develop a timely and effective program to satisfy the program demands established for every city department in order to develop, adopt and maintain A Minimum Requirements of a Written Plan as our Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program. This VUP shall detail a system of responsibility and accountability related to vehicular use which shall be established throughout the organization. This VUP shall document all elements of the Program including, but not limited to, the assignment of drivers, performance management, training, incident investigation, discipline (where appropriate), and cost 2 associated with the Program. Should a citywide coordinator position be staffed, a comprehensive annual report addressing those elements shall be submitted to the City Administrator and other department heads in order to evaluate the performance of the City’s Programs. Based upon the annual report, specific recommendations will be made to address shortcomings in an effort to improve overall safe vehicle use. In some instances, it is recognized that the specific frequency and timing of an individual’s vehicle use may vary. DMV Review The Department participates in the California Department of Motor Vehicles Employer Pull Notice (EPN) Program and screens all new employees whose job description requires possession of a valid California driver’s license with no restrictions. The EPN Program was established to provide employers and regulatory agencies with a means of promoting driver safety through the ongoing review of driver records. Department employees shall also be required to report any change in their DMV license status within twenty-four (24) hours or by the next business day upon such notification. Department employees who are assigned to, or required to drive city vehicles must inform The Department of any violation which may cause suspension, forfeiture, or revocation of one’s driver’s license. In addition, within this VUP plan, specific steps and procedures are established for all Department employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles in the event that an individual employee’s driving privileges may be affected. Training The Department shall utilize an “on-line”/classroom drivers’ training curriculum for all employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles as a condition of their employment. The minimum curriculum is defined in Appendix B. Drivers shall receive training annually to refresh their knowledge and be informed of new rules, regulations, and best practices, or on an as-needed basis based upon a driver’s involvement in an incident. All training records shall be maintained by the Department appointee. Communication At a minimum: • All Department employees who are assigned to or required to use city vehicles shall be required to sign the Business Use Declaration of the Program (Appendix C) and acknowledge receipt of all related documents. • Departments shall communicate training schedules to employees. Minimize Vehicular and Fuel Use The Department fully supports the City’s “Transit First Policy” which provides opportunities for employees to use public transit, provides technology for video conferencing, encourages employees to carpool, and promotes the use of bicycles whenever practical. All Department 3 employees who are assigned to or required to use city vehicles must first consider any and all of these reasonable alternatives, as appropriate, whenever undertaking to complete Department duties which require transportation. In order to continue to promote alternative transportation modes and reduce city fuel costs, The Department utilizes a program that furnishes and encourages the use of SFMTA “tokens” in lieu of the use of any city vehicle. This program requires all Department personnel to use and consider alternative modes of transportation such as SFMTA “tokens” for use whenever work related travel is required and whenever the alternative means of travel is reasonable for the usage being considered. In addition, The Department VUP Program encourages the use of bicycles as another practical and viable means of commuting in furtherance of work related duties. This VUP program shall stress the need to regularly use alternative modes of public transportation whenever the option reasonably and practically satisfies the needs of specific tasks and jobs. But, the “Department” recognizes that certain job duties and responsibilities that remain specific to the organization’s needs and demands require the regular and consistent use of city vehicles in order to fulfill such job duties. It is further recognized that specific job duties cannot always be satisfied by an alternative practical use of public transportation. In the event that public transportation does not sufficiently provide an alternative to city vehicle usage, efforts must still be made by the Department personnel to optimize and achieve efficient and sensible use of all city vehicles. Consistent with the City’s environmental goals and to reduce operating costs, The Department and its employees assigned to or required to use city vehicles are not allowed to idle an engine for more than five (5) consecutive minutes. For passenger vehicles in general, if an employee is likely to idle one minute or longer, he/she should turn the engine off and restart when he/she is ready to move the vehicle. Diesel vehicles, per California law, must not idle for longer than five (5) minutes. In addition, The Department shall maintain vehicles for the purposes of sharing such vehicles for the use by all Department employees who are assigned to or required to use city vehicles. No vehicle shall be assigned or used solely by one individual employee. For City Hall and nearby departments, and as more vehicle pools become available, the Department will utilize City vehicle pools rather than assigning vehicles to individuals. As an example, the City Hall vehicle pool is available for daily use. GSA-Fleet can assist departments with vehicle pools and how to best minimize vehicle usage. For any Department employee to be approved to participate in the Pool, The Department shall, as directed by the City Administrator, require: 1. A completed copy of the Signed Business Use Declaration (Appendix C of Vehicle Use Policy) for each Department employee required to or assigned to use a city vehicle. 2. Verification of completion of the Defensive Driver Training program for every 4 Department employee required to or assigned to use a city vehicle. Such information and verification shall be maintained and forwarded to The City Administrator. Business Use Policy Vehicles owned, leased or rented by The Department and assigned to, or under the jurisdiction of The Department, shall be used only in the discharge and transaction of City business. (See Appendix D Administrative Code Section 4.11.) Volunteers and contractors are not authorized to use City vehicles. However, after approval of The Appointing Officer or Authorized Designee, volunteers and contractors deemed to be essential to municipal functions may be allowed as passengers in City vehicles. Toll citations, parking violation fees, traffic fines, and other citations associated with vehicle use shall be the sole responsibility of the Department employee who used the vehicle at the time the citation occurred. The Department shall hold accountable employees who accrue tolls, citations, and fines associated with their use of a vehicle unless otherwise specified in a MOU. Employees may seek toll and parking reimbursements in accordance with departmental policies and applicable Controller’s Office Travel Reimbursement Guideline. As part of the Citywide Vehicle Use Policy updated in October 2014, City vehicles are a resource whose use is limited by law. The Department maintains a zero tolerance for vandalism of a City vehicle, including but not limited to, graffiti, and/or defacement. Incident Analysis and Reporting A standardized incident response for drivers involved in an incident is described in Appendix A and shall be utilized by The Department. In the event that a Department employee is involved in any incident, s/he must follow the incident response procedures in Appendix A. and 1. Report the incident immediately to his/her supervisor, and 2. Upon return to the office, he/she must complete the required incident reports as used and disseminated for The City and County of San Francisco. The Department will analyze vehicle incident rates on at least an annual basis. A review of the driver’s safety record utilizing data from this analysis should be maintained for a period of five (5) years from the date of the incident. Recognition Program for Employee Safe Driving The Department shall recognize all employees who have adhered to the department’s Program and who have not been involved in a preventable incident for the past fiscal year. These employees will be recognized in a fair and uniform manner from amongst their peers. All Department employees who use a city vehicle at least 10 times per fiscal year without being involved in a preventable incident will be considered for this recognition. Select individuals from this recognized group may be called upon by senior management, or an assigned designee, during any fiscal year, to participate to provide training to new employees, and/or their peers. 5 The Office of The Treasurer & Tax Collector abides by and enforces the following minimum requirements: Appendix A Minimum Requirements of a Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program MOTOR VEHICLE INCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAM 1.0 POLICY In order to promote safe driving and to reduce motor vehicle incidents, The Department maintains a Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program.

This VUP establishes clearly defined roles and requirements for adhering to and enforcing these Standards. The following tasks are assigned to and include, at a minimum, a senior manager, human resources staff, safety staff, or Department fleet manager, front-line supervisors, and vehicle operators, as well as other appropriate staff in order to ensure the Program functions as intended. • General: • The Department shall administer, uphold and enforce the Motor Vehicle Incident Prevention Program and Vehicle Use Policy • All Department vehicles and usage shall be evaluated and reviewed by regular monitoring and prior to usage “sign out” of vehicles. As is standard practice, all Department personnel are required to “sign out” for vehicle usage in advance by using Microsoft Outlook. Each vehicle user is required to post anticipated usage time for each instance of usage and include the ETA (estimated time of return) within Microsoft Outlook. The reservation posted within Outlook should include, at minimum, information stating the identification (normally, the City Van) of the vehicle used, the time the vehicle is first taken and the projected time when the vehicle will be returned. A brief reference of anticipated destinations may also be included. • It is mandatory that such information is continuously entered and updated in order to facilitate better and open communication between and within sections. It is essential that all vehicle usage is documented in advance in order to also eliminate the possibility of duplicate reservations, and, in turn, such documentation shall reduce wasted time for specified personnel. Reservations of vehicles should be made in advance as often as reasonably possible and it is encouraged that such vehicle usage should be documented at least 24 hours in advance. In instances that a specific unit or section uses a vehicle on a daily basis for long and regular intervals, such reservations should be posted for the relevant periods at least 2 weeks in advance. Single day or multiple day event long term usage of the city vehicle (example: using the vehicle to attend a 3 day conference) should always be documented within Outlook as early as possible. • As previously mentioned within this manual, the use of alternative transportation in conformance with the City’s Transit First Policy and Carpooling resources is a priority that the Department recognizes, encourages, and upholds. • With the assistance of GSA-Fleet, The Department shall determine suitability of vehicles. Currently, it is herein documented that The Department only has a City Van assigned for use. Department senior management shall determine the suitability of such a vehicle and all maintenance shall be monitored and maintained by the Cashier section. • The Department further acknowledges that it currently uses a city van which can seat up to 7 or 8 adults. It is further recognized and acknowledged that The Department shall, whenever possible, and particularly during the usage of said vehicle by only a single driver, promote the usage of more fuel efficient vehicles by way of the Vehicle Pool User Program that is administered by Building Maintenance @ 415554-4933 and can be accessed by email: [email protected] or [email protected]. 8 • Training responsibilities as determined and assigned by Senior Management: • It is recommended that HR schedule and regulate training at this time. Individual supervisors of each respective unit shall ensure completion of all training and it shall be tracked in annual performance evaluations. • Provide for training of personnel under their jurisdiction, consistent with the organization and personnel needs • Budget expenditures for motor vehicle incident prevention including training (behind the wheel, etc), classroom training, instructors, etc. • Coordinate and track scheduling of department employees who are assigned to or required to use a city vehicle for Defensive Driving Training. • Business Use Policy: Department supervisors who have employees who are assigned to or required to use city vehicles must ensure that the documents are completed and submitted. • Must have employees who are assigned to or required to use a city vehicle review and endorse the Business Use Declaration of the Program and forward the signed copy to the human resources unit • Incident Prevention: Since this may contain confidential information relating to a department employee’s DMV and personal information, this information should remain in HR possession only. Duties and responsibilities shall include the following: • Participate in the CA DMV EPN Program for all new employees who are assigned to or required to use a city vehicle • Review DMV records as needed and inform the respective employee’s supervisor of any changes in an employee’s driving status • Maintain a database of all authorized drivers’ DMV status and incident history for the Department • Incident Response: The Department will assign these tasks to a designated individual(s) that shall be required to address and complete the following tasks: • Process and review Vehicle/Equipment Incident Reports to determine preventability • Investigate, determine cause of motor vehicle incidents, document findings, and implement actions to prevent future incidents • Carry out appropriate disciplinary action for violation of safe driving practices. Potential corrective action or discipline that may occur as a result of such incidents and which violate any provision within this VUP shall be determined by Senior Management. • Specific assigned Department employees will develop and maintain Incident Analysis and Reporting: • Prepare quarterly and annual statistical reports for Department management with recommendations for reducing preventable incidents • Include a review of the driver’s safety record as a part of the annual performance evaluation. • Individually, all supervisors who oversee any Department employees who are assigned to or required to drive city vehicles who receive such incident reports should report such incidents to their Manager and HR the same day. Appropriate Incident forms must be completed. • All Incidents and reports submitted to HR should be monitored and tracked. The frequency and all use of city vehicles by all Department employees who drive 9 • should be tracked by way of the MICROSOFT OUTLOOK reporting. These steps will help satisfy the need for solid Performance Management. 2.10. Employees of The Department who are assigned to or required to use city vehicles are responsible for the following: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Maintaining a valid California driver’s license and notifying supervisors immediately if a Department employee receives any notification from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that affects their ability to drive a City vehicle. Reviewing and endorsing the Department’s Business Use Declaration of the Program. Reserving the vehicle and “signing out” prior to usage via Microsoft Outlook as described in section 2.0 above.

After calling, Department employees should wait at least 1 hour for an officer to arrive. All City vehicle incidents on a street or highway outside of San Francisco require a police report. If the police do not respond, go to the nearest police station and file a report to document the incident facts. For accidents outside of San Francisco, do not report the incident to SF police authorities.

All Department employees involved in a vehicle incident shall contact their supervisor and report the incident immediately after the incident and when it is safe to do so. Contact The City Attorney’s Office @ 415-554-3900 and report the incident. The City Attorney shall determine the applicability of the claim and whether there remains a need for their office to become involved. If they provide you with further instructions, a claims adjuster, or any other relevant information or instructions, document those instructions and provide them to your supervisor. For an incident off of a street or highway that does not involve property damage to another party, comply with the Department’s Vehicle/Equipment Incident Reporting Procedures. A police collision report is not required. However, if there is any property damage to another party (i.e., trees, fence, etc.), you must file a police report.

The Report can be obtained at: Department of Motor Vehicles 1377 Fell Street San Francisco, CA 94115 (415) 557-1170 3. Supervisor, manager, or other appropriate designee shall send a copy of the report to Department Personnel. The following Department Rules shall apply to all Department employees assigned to or required to drive city vehicles in furtherance of fulfilling their Department job duties: If employee is unable to rectify the situation, then the Department shall immediately remove the employee from driving duties, until driver status is restored. The Department may, depending on employee’s work assignment, approve an employee’s request for personal leave, compensation time off, vacation, or temporary assignment to another job that does not require driving. If the employee’s driver’s license is suspended or revoked, the employee will have ninety (90) days to rectify his or her driving status. During this time they will not be allowed to drive a City Vehicle. It will be up to the Treasurer or designee whether the employee will be allowed to continue to work during that period to perform their assignment. At the discretion of the Appointing Officer or designee, at the end of ninety (90) days, an employee who has not been able to correct licensure revocation or suspension may be released from employment for failure to meet the minimum requirements of his/her employment. If employee meets the DMV negligent driver criteria, he/she will not be eligible to drive on City business. A negligent driver is defined as one who has recorded four (4) traffic violation point counts within twelve (12) months, six (6) points within twenty-four (24) months, or eight (8) points within thirty-six (36) months.

Substance Abuse/Drug-Free Workplace Be aware that all Department employees are covered and must adhere to the Citywide Substance Abuse Prevention Policy (“SAPP”) (http://sfdhr.org/index.aspx?page=52) or MOU provisions that closely follow that policy (http://sfdhr.org/index.aspx?page=54). Under these policies, no Department employee may manufacture, distribute, dispense, possess, use or be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs in the workplace. This prohibition includes prescription drugs which may impair any vehicle operator or which are used improperly (e.g., those prescribed or not for the user). As stated in such policies, violation of this policy may be grounds for discipline up to and including dismissal. 18 As a Department employee, if you perform activities in your job that are funded by a federal grant, you must notify your Department Head, or authorized designee, of any drug convictions for violation of drug laws that took place in the workplace within five (5) days of any such conviction. Employees in certain safety-sensitive positions, or in positions where testing is required by federal law, may be required to submit to periodic drug tests. All employees may be required to submit to drug testing under certain circumstances consistent with federal, state, and local laws and applicable City policies (e.g., Substance Abuse Prevention Policy) and MOUs. B. Distracted Driving (Consistent with 2010 Drivers Guide and City Administrator’s Memo dated 8/21/13, Re: Rules and Guidelines Regarding Use of City Vehicles) All Department employees who use city vehicles must adhere to the following rules while using such vehicles: 1. Cell phone use is prohibited while operating a city vehicle. (This includes wireless, hands-free devices.) Department employees shall not text while driving. Department employees shall not use a laptop, notebook, GPS device, or net book while driving. Department employees must limit over-air communications whenever possible.

Authorized and physician approved “guide dogs” shall be an exception which should be first approved by The Department Officer or Authorized designee. C. As stated previously in page 6 of this VUP, an employee who is required to or assigned to use a city vehicle should never drive in an “aggressive fashion.” Aggressive Driving is defined as: Speeding, driving in a selfish, bold or pushy manner, without regard for the rights or safety of other users on the roadway; failure to observe traffic laws. Aggressive driving shall include, but not be limited to, excessive use of a vehicle’s “horn,” “tailgating,” regular and repetitive unnecessary lane changes, maintaining and using speeds either above the posted speed limit(s) and/or which is/are at a level which are not safe for the conditions of the road at the time of the usage. Aggressive driving shall also consist of unnecessary quick starting and stopping, unnecessary braking and “cutting off” of other drivers. Under no circumstances should you show, carry or use any weapon. Such restrictions shall only apply to Department employees and shall not restrict permitted guests legally allowed to carry a weapon such as s member of SFPD. Aggressive driving shall also be defined to include verbal arguments with other drivers or pedestrians. Use of obscene gestures shall also be strictly prohibited while operating a vehicle. 19 D. Vehicle Inspection Maintenance Department employees shall also adhere to the following guidelines and rules whenever using, maintaining and/or operating a city vehicle: 1. Fueling (taken from 2010 Drivers Guide): For emergency readiness, keep a city vehicle at least 1/4 full at all times and at the end of each shift. Department employees must use City-operated refueling stations for your city vehicle unless specifically authorized by The Department’s Appointing Officer or Authorized designee. (For example, if city employees are approved to travel by city vehicle to a distant location, convention, work site, etc. and a “round trip” and normal usage will exceed a “tankful,” of gas, then use of a non-City refueling station is reasonable and acceptable.) City refueling stations shall be used solely for City vehicles. Stations require the use of an asset management refueling key. Each City vehicle has an individually assigned Fuel Key to access any of the Cityoperated automated self-serve refueling stations. To obtain a new or replacement Fuel Key the appropriate Department “designee” shall contact your departmental fleet coordinator or Central Shops. Refueling instructions are posted at each station. The basic steps are: 1. 2. 3. 4. Key in the mileage reading + “Enter” at the Sentry post. Insert your refueling key to identify the vehicle. Choose the pump you want to use, and key in the pump number + “Enter”. Then pump gas as at a regular service station. Before Department employees drive a CNG (compressed natural gas) vehicle, Department employees must attend a thirty (30) minute safety training course. The appropriate Department designee shall contact your departmental fleet coordinator or Central Shops to sign up for training. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. At a City-operated CNG station, use the asset management key. No smoking or open flame shall be allowed within fifty (50) feet of the fueling area or at any time in the vehicle. Shut the engine off. Set the vehicle’s hand or emergency brake. 4. Remove the protective cap on the vehicle refueling receptacle (if applicable). Remove the fueling hose from the dispenser. Inspect the fueling hose and connector prior to making a connection. Make a connection and ensure the connector is locked in place. Open the refueling valve. Turn the dispenser on. Turn the dispenser off after flow stops registering on it. Shut off the refueling valve. Place the fueling hose back on the dispenser. 20 2. Car Wash Under certain circumstances car washes are available to City vehicles, and require a numbered voucher issued by Central Shops. Standard washes include outside wash and dry, interior vacuum and windows. Follow your department’s policy regarding car washes, and adhere to the City’s goal of reducing water usage and car washing expenses by at least fifty percent (50%). Department employees are required to maintain city vehicles in a clean and presentable fashion. Department employees who regularly use city vehicles shall also be required to make certain city vehicles are washed and cleaned. 3. Maintenance The appropriate Cashier section designee shall ensure that all City vehicles receive scheduled preventive maintenance at regular intervals to ensure safe, cost effective operations and to comply with warranty requirements. That Department designee or appointee shall receive preventive maintenance notices which are distributed each month in advance of the due date to departmental fleet coordinators and/or drivers. A “Next Service Due” decal is placed on the upper left hand corner of the windshield to assist you in maintaining the City vehicle. For service appointments, the appropriate Department employee shall contact your departmental fleet coordinator or Central Shops. It is the duty and responsibility of all Department employees who use city vehicles to be observant and cognizant of any signs or signals of scheduled or unscheduled required maintenance.
