The Governor appointed this Committee
in 1971 to establish a safety program for
State employees who drive State-owned and
privately-owned motor vehicles during their
performance of official State business.
Under this program, procedures have
been established to initiate accident review
boards in the various State Departments and
Agencies. These boards review all motor
vehicle accidents involving State employees
on official business, determine preventability,
responsible conditions and recommend cor-
rective action to be taken.
These actions have assisted in the reduc-
tion of accidents and the resultant costs.
Continuation of this program will be a factor
in making State drivers cognizant of their
driving responsibilities and further contrib-
ute to the safe operation of the State fleet.
