ITD adopts new guidance regarding use of
electronic devices in department vehicles

ITD has issued new guidance for employees on the use of electronic devices in department vehicles.

The new guidance was approved by the Idaho Transportation Board at their June 17 meeting. Administrative Policy 5558 governs use of electronic devices while driving and operating ITD vehicles and equipment.

Here's the PDF of the new policy.

This policy replaces Director’s Memorandum No. 24, and addresses the use of technology, such as GPS mapping and guidance systems, wired and Bluetooth connections, video, cameras and music players. Certain things are permitted, but need to be activated before the vehicle is in motion. Please read the policy for exact details.
