The Department of Administrative Services is responsible for the acquisition management, policies, operation, maintenance and repair, and disposal of motor vehicles used for the transportation of State of Iowa employees in their official duties. The Department of Administrative Services meets the state’s short and long term needs for vehicles by operating a centralized motor pool for daily trip rentals, in addition to, assigning vehicles to state agencies and institutions for departmental use. State employees may access a vehicle from the pool through an on-line reservation system

The Department of Administrative Services has established policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance to its statutory obligations and to provide all agencies and drivers of state vehicles with information and instructions pertinent to the use of state-owned vehicles. These policies and procedures are published in Department of Administrative Service Fleet Operations Manual and The Department of Administrative Services Fleet Maintenance Manual Every state employee who drives a state-owned vehicle should familiarize themselves with these manuals.

Comparisons of value show the centralized fleet is a cost effective way to meet the needs of state agencies, with the cost of operating these vehicles consistently averaging below twenty-one cents a mile.

The State Risk Management Program provides insurance coverage, claims processing, and an ongoing safety and loss control program for drivers of state vehicles.

Periodic auctions of used state vehicles are scheduled. Go to vehicle auctions to view more information.
