1. A Law Enforcement officer
asks for my agency’s
automobile policy number
following an accident, how do I
determine my agency’s
automobile policy number?
Each
agency policy number is
established using the following
convention AL 00-0000:
AL
-
auto liability.
00 -
the first two digits are the
start of fiscal year (i.e.
fiscal year 2002/2003 would be
02).
0000
- the second four digits is your
agency location code (i.e. the
Department of Transportation’s
location code is 2600).
Therefore, the Department of
Transportation's
automobile policy number
for
FY 02/03 is AL 02-2600.
Your
agency’s automobile policy
number can be kept on the
Fleet
Automobile Liability Insurance
Information
pamphlet.
