The How’s My Driving program allows the public to report the misuse or reckless driving of a GSA vehicle. For more information on this program, or to report an incident, review the information below and follow the procedures for submitting a report.
To report the misuse or reckless driving of a government vehicle, email howsmydriving@gsa.gov and provide the following information:
Date of the incident
Time of the incident
Location of alleged misuse
Activity that is the cause of your concern
License plate number
GSA-leased vehicles have license plates with the following structure: GXX-XXXXX. If the license plate does not begin with a G, then it is not owned by GSA. However, if the license plate belongs to another federal entity, we can forward the report to the owning agency on your behalf.
If you want to remain anonymous in your report, please indicate it in your email to howsmydriving@gsa.gov. However, if you request to remain anonymous, you will not receive any updates about your inquiry. We will keep your email on file in case we require additional information to conduct an investigation. In that case, we will contact you directly and ask if the investigating agency can contact you.
When GSA receives a report, we forward the report to the agency leasing that vehicle. It can take an agency several weeks, and even months, to complete an investigation, depending on the nature of the complaint and the agency’s internal procedures. We may not be able to report any action taken against drivers following a complaint. We are unable to establish time frames for agency investigations or mandate a response within a certain period of time. The leasing agency is responsible for the investigation and any response.
To request a status update on your report, email howsmydriving@gsa.gov. GSA Fleet vehicles are leased to other federal agencies, and they are responsible for their drivers’ actions. It may take a long time for an agency to complete an investigation and respond.
