A study was conducted of the management of motor pool
operations in Bangladesh and Korea. The Foreign Affairs Manual
(FAR) requires that the chief of a foreign missica prescribe
local rules on he use of Government-owned vehicles to provide
unifors, fair, and equitable treatment anong personnel at the
post. The mission in Bangladesh manages vehicles under a
ission-wide set of operating instructions. In Korea, however,
conflicting agency regulations and the post's failure to
prescribe comprehensive local rules have resulted in mission
staff keing inequitably treated with respect to who and for what
purposes vehicles can be used. At both posts, official vehicles
were used for personal transportation beyond authorized
limitations. The problem exists because of: insufficient
American personnel to screen vehicle use, mission personnel who
do not know the regulations, and personnel intentLonally
ignoring regulationa. Contrary to requirements of the FAN, post
employees are not provided fair and equitable treatment on
charges for personal use of vehicles. This is caused by:
conflicting agency regulations establishing rates at which
employees are charged for personal use, inadequate amounts
charged for home-to-work transportation, and poor collection
procedures. A systematic approach for monitoring vehicle use has
P-nt been established in eithxer country. Improvements are also
needed in vehicle standardization and in data collection
procedures for vehicle operations. (RBS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobacxra0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
