| **Approved:** June 28, 1984 | Use of District vehicles should be the first option exercised. However, when no District vehicles are available, or with the approval of the employee’s direct supervisor, employees may use their own vehicles for business purposes. Insurance industry practices normally provide that auto liability coverage follows the vehicle. Therefore, when employees use their own vehicles for District business, the employee’s personal auto insurance is primary and the District’s insurance coverage may not apply. Employees who use their personal vehicle for approved business purposes will receive a mileage allowance in accordance with District policy for mileage reimbursement and IRS provisions. That IRS mileage reimbursement rate is to compensate for the cost of gasoline, oil, depreciation and insurance. Therefore, employees who operate personal vehicles for District business should obtain appropriate coverage determined by the employee’s personal insurance agent. |
