See Appendix A – Drug and Alcohol Testing for Commercial <br />Drivers <br /> <br />ARTICLE 19 CITY DRIVING POLICY <br />This policy applies to all employees who drive a vehicle on City business at least once per month, <br />whether driving a City-owned vehicle or their own personal vehicle. It also applies to employees <br />who drive less frequently but whose ability to drive is essential to their job due to the emergency <br />nature of the job.

All employees are expected to follow applicable local, state, and federal laws and <br />regulations regarding the use of cellphones at all times. Employees whose job <br />responsibilities include regular or occasional driving and who are issued a cellphone for <br />business use are expected to refrain from using their phone while driving.
