Fuel Cards and FasTrak

Fuel Cards

  • All Agency pool vehicles are equipped with, or issued at the time of your reservation, a fuel card(s). For District Staff: rental cars will be equipped with, or issued at the time of reservation, a fuel card(s) unless waived in lieu of seeking reimbursement. For Non-District Staff: rental cars will NOT be issued a fuel card(s). Drivers must seek fuel reimbursement from their employer.
  • Fuel cards require entering an Employee ID/PIN number and the odometer reading (in that sequence) into the keypad on the gasoline dispenser.
  • The Employee ID/fuel PIN for Pool Vehicles is written on each pool vehicle/rental vehicle check-out sheet.
  • Employees must always select regular unleaded gasoline as opposed to premium gasoline.  Employees may also use the gasoline fuel cards to pay for car washes, lubricants, or emergency repairs. 
  • No other items may be purchased with the gasoline fuel cards.
  • Attach all receipts to the “trip ticket” when returning fuel cards – all charges are billed directly to the applicable department or agency.

FasTrak

  • All Agency Pool Vehicles and Rental Vehicles are equipped with a FasTrak toll tag (transponder), or one will be issued at the time of your reservation.
  • In the Bay Area, FasTrak is a way to pay for tolls on all toll bridges electronically. FasTrak makes it quick and convenient to pay tolls because you don't need to carry cash. It also saves you time by letting you cross bridge toll plazas nonstop, and allows carpools to use the carpool lanes and receive discounted rates on toll bridges. 
  • If the transponder is missing or defective please note this on the “trip ticket” or contact Fleet Services so the vehicle can be furnished with a replacement one.
  • Complete the “trip ticket” when returning FasTrak transponders – all charges are billed directly to the applicable department or agency.

Pool Vehicle Breakdowns, Accidents and Safety Guidelines

Enterprise Maintenance Card

Agency Pool Vehicles are managed by Enterprise Fleet Management to maintain service records, mileage, and other general vehicle maintenance. All Agency Pool Vehicles are equipped with an Enterprise Maintenance Card which should be used to access services, repairs and roadside assistance. (A 24-hour assistance phone number, 1-800-325-8838, is on each card for drivers to call.)

Breakdowns:

  • If a vehicle breaks down, is out of gasoline, or has a flat tire, practice safety first. Changing a tire or pushing a vehicle is discouraged and is unsafe. Please exercise sound judgment in these circumstances.  If the vehicle is not in a safe location, move to a safe location and contact your supervisor and the 24-hour Enterprise assistance line (1-800-325-8838).
  • There should be no out of pocket expenses, all charges are billed to Enterprise Fleet Management.
  • 24-hour availability to emergency roadside assistance.

Accidents:

  • Call for medical aid if necessary.
  • Contacting the police for a report may not be necessary in certain situations. If the liable driver does not have auto insurance, contact the police for a report. If you were injured, it's a good idea to have a police report taken in order to document the injuries at the scene of the accident.
  • Report any accident or theft involving a Pool Vehicle to your supervisor and the Business Office as soon as possible after the incident. Provide a copy of the police report (if one is filed) and an incident form (Attachment B), located in the pool vehicle glove compartment. Drivers should also obtain pictures of any damage or road conditions if applicable.
  • ONLY if the vehicle is safely operable, will the vehicle need to be driven into the Office. When in doubt use the Enterprise Fleet Maintenance card for a tow!! Fleet Services will coordinate the repair of all vehicles.
