Vehicle Misuse

General Service Administration (GSA) has taken on the responsibility to receive and respond to reports from the public about their concerns related to government driving. Citizens also may raise concerns about the appropriate use of government vehicles.

Our authority is limited to GSA government vehicles. If the vehicle is being operated by another public entity, you should contact them with your concern. If you give us the license plate number we can quickly determine if it is a GSA government vehicle.

Vehicle Misuse Report (VMR) was developed for reporting a government vehicle driving in a reckless manner or perceived to be used for an unauthorized reason.

We take reports in writing and via email.

Tell us:

Email howsmydriving@gsa.gov with the following information:

  • License plate number.
  • The date and time of the activity being reported.
  • The location where the activity occurred (name of the city, street, highway, mile marker, direction of travel).
  • Activity that is the cause of your concern.

Other helpful information includes:

  • Description of vehicle
  • Description of driver and passengers

If you would like to hear back from us leave your name, email address, and phone number. We will respond to you in writing.
