State motor pool policy
The state motor pool has changed how the parking office dispatches cars. The state motor pool implemented a new computer system that does not allow state cars to be pre-dispatched. Cars can be reserved as it has always done, but the person requesting a car must come into the parking office and show their driver’s license, and then, the needed paperwork can be processed. These new procedures will cause delays in getting a car. If someone does not have their driver’s license or if a supervisor has a staff member pick up the car, the parking office will need the driver’s license faxed to them before the car is released. The person picking up the car will also need to show their license.

Because of this change, the parking office is asking individuals to come in for car dispatches from 8 to 9:30 a.m. to help office work flow more efficiently. If other times are needed to pick up a car, this needs to be coordinated with me in advance.



I apologize for this inconvenience, but the state motor pool mandated these changes. Thank you for your patience. If there are questions, please call 858-3210

--Roger Kluck, director of facilities
