Except where otherwise noted, the information in this chapter pertains to management of all vehicles owned or leased by the Department of Human Services (DHS), the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), and those operated by the DHS Coordinated Transportation System’s providers. The agency has a Fleet and Risk Manager that serves as the liaison with DOAS and other applicable agencies. The Fleet and Risk Manager provides guidance and training to DHS staff. All aspects of vehicle management at the local level are to be directed to the Regional Transportation Office (RTO). The RTO communicates with the Fleet and Risk Manager regarding vehicle acquisitions and disposals.
