Gao ID: GGD-85-76 September 16, 1985

In response to a congressional request, GAO determined: (1) the number of government officials that used government motor vehicles for commuting purposes and the transportation of relatives; and (2) whether the officials and their relatives were authorized to receive the transportation.

After conducting a survey of government agencies, departments, and subordinate organizations, GAO found that, of the 128 officials that received transportation in government motor vehicles for commuting purposes, 79 were not authorized to receive the transportation. In addition, GAO found that 7 of the 17 relatives receiving transportation in government motor vehicles were not authorized to receive it, and 5 relatives received transportation in government motor vehicles that was partially authorized and partially not authorized.
