Which of the following would be an authorized use of a CG owned motor vehicle?

Answer 51

The determination as to whether a particular use is for official purposes is a matter of discretion to be exercised by the unit commander, commanding officer, or officer-in-charge within applicable law and regulations. In making such a determination, consideration will be given to all pertinent factors, including whether the transportation is: a. Essential to the successful completion of a CG function, activity, or operation; b. An authorized use of appropriated funding - Motor vehicles are acquired with appropriated funding and therefore their use is synonymous with authorizing appropriated funding for travel. When questioning whether use of a motor vehicle is for official purpose, consider if local travel reimbursement can or would be approved. If the answer is “no”, then the use of the motor vehicle is likely not for official purpose; c. For employees in an “official duty status”. Transportation while in liberty, leave or administrative absence status is not allowed reimbursement of expenses, including the use of a motor vehicle acquired with appropriated funding. Refer to Military Assignments and Authorized Absences, COMDTINST M1000.8(series); d.

Attendance at such activities does not equate to official participation; c. Non-CG Employees in Official Capacity. Motor vehicles are authorized for non-CG employees invited to participate in an official capacity in CG activities if no additional cost is incurred by the Government; d. Spouse and Dependents with Member. Motor vehicles are authorized to transport an employee, spouse and dependents together from the workplace to an official function to which the spouse and dependents were invited and the employee is participating in an official capacity. No additional cost must be incurred by the Government and there must be free space available that is not needed for official purposes; e. Military Recruits.

Activities not determined to be official per Paragraph B.2 of this Chapter; b. Personal Business. Motor vehicles are not authorized for the purpose of conducting personal business or engaging in other activities of a personal nature by CG employees, their families, or others. Authorization to conduct personal business during normal business hours does not make the business official, it’s still considered personal; c. Home-to-Work. Transportation to and from the workplace is the members responsibility. Motor vehicles are not authorized for transporting CG employees over all or any part of the route between their residence and places of employment unless the employee is authorized d. Permissive Travel. Motor vehicles are not authorized for permissive travel; e. Nonofficial Travelers. Motor vehicles are not authorized for the transportation of nonofficial travelers to include employees or non-CG employees. However, where the transportation is in connection with an official purpose and there is no additional cost to the government, such travel can be authorized by Commandant (CG-435) on a case-by-case basis. All requests must be sent by email or phone call through the field unit’s servicing legal office and CG SILC (FOB) for consideration; and, f. Medical Appointments/Treatment. The use of vehicles for transportation to and from medical appointments is generally prohibited. Medical appointments qualify as official business only in limited situations. Motor vehicles are generally prohibited for activities in which travel reimbursement would not be authorized; (1) Local Travel of Uniformed Members. Per References (e) and (f), local travel reimbursement is only allowed when a uniformed member is ordered to a medical facility. These appointments are typically scheduled by the CG and require a member’s attendance. Uniformed members who voluntarily travel to a medical facility to obtain a medical diagnosis and/or treatment (e.g., annual physical, sick call, initial appointments, follow-up appointments, referrals, dental exams), although necessary for health reasons, are not a condition of employment in the CG and not considered official business. Reimbursement for the transportation is not authorized. (2) Local Travel of Civilian Employees. Civilian employees will not be reimbursed for local travel to medical appointments except for the few special circumstances authorized by the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR). Civilian employees typically attend medical appointments while in a leave status and therefore are not on official business.
