When deciding whether to authorize transportation of a POV to a post of duty, you must consider if:

(a) Local conditions at the employee's post of duty warrant use of a POV;

(b) Use of the POV will contribute to the employee's effectiveness on the job;

(c) Use of a POV of the type involved will be suitable under local conditions at the post of duty;

(d) The cost of transporting the POV to and from the post of duty will be excessive, considering the time the employee has agreed to serve; and

(e) The POV is in operating order and legally titled and tagged for driving.
