I understand and agree that the use of a vehicle provided by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is a privilege and I assume the obligations required.

  • Inspect the vehicle before driving it and report any damage caused by me while the vehicle was under my control
  • Report any moving violations, convictions, or at-fault accidents immediately to my supervisor/human resources/risk management coordinator/corporate services.
  • Keep the company vehicle neat, clean, and free of any trash or debris.
  • Be solely responsible for any driving infractions or fines as a result of my use.
  • Not operate a company vehicle when any physical or mental impairment affects my ability to operate a motor vehicle safely.
  • Not operate a company vehicle at any time while consuming alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription medications that affect my ability to operate a motor vehicle in compliance with law safely.
