Message from the Director
The Motor Pool Staff and I want
to personally express our thanks and
appreciation to you for doing
business with us. We have been
experiencing continued success year
after year, and it never could have
happened without you.
As you may have noticed, we're doing
many things in all areas of the
Motor Pool to enhance your traveling
experience. The staff and I are
dedicated to improving the quality
and selection of the service and
products that we offer. We are
committed to providing each of you
with personalized service. We
launched our new Policy and
Procedures that give you in-depth
knowledge of our operation; we have
invested in new communication
equipment putting us on the leading
edge of technology and installed an
E85 (ethanol) refueling station. We now are
providing around the clock Emergency
Road Assistance, both Internet and
E-mail service, and Automobile
Vehicle Requests on-line.
Our goal is to provide each of you
with the most efficient means of
fulfilling your transportation
needs. We believe that the Internet
connectivity and traveling the
cyber-highway is a start in becoming
more efficient. We are
committed to delivering a positive transportation
experience. We will continue to
strive for excellence. It is our pleasure to
serve you.

Alabama Legislature Act No
471, 1969
The Legislature of the State of
Alabama, during the Regular Session
1969, enacted Act No. 471 which was
further amended by the Code of
Alabama 1975, Title 41-17-3 through
41-17-8. This Act placed the
responsibility of establishing a
transportation pool with the
Department of Finance. The purpose
of the State Motor Pool is to
provide motor vehicle transportation
for state officers and employees who
do not have automobiles regularly
assigned to them.
The State Motor Pool was physically
located on Ripley Street between
Pelham and King Street from 1969
through 1985. The construction of
the Gordon Persons Building dictated
the Motor Pool move to a temporary
location until a new Motor Pool
could be built. The temporary home
was at the corner of Coliseum Blvd
and Traffic Operations Drive in
Montgomery, and was about 2 years in
the making. On December 1, 1987, the
Motor Pool moved to the present
location at 386 South Ripley Street.
Currently, we have approximately 200
cars and vans, and provide
transportation, fuel, maintenance
and other services to more than 220
different agencies. We operate on a
revolving fund and receive no monies
from the general fund.
Should you have questions, please
call Curtis Hays at 334-353-0369 or email
