Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Program Management. This manual implements policy, assigns responsibility and
establishes procedures for motor vehicle traffic supervision on Air Force installations located in
the continental United States (CONUS), outside the continental United States (OCONUS), and
deployed locations, where implemented. This AFMAN provides additional Air Force specific
guidance to complement guidance found in AFI 31-218 (I). The objective of traffic control
programs is the safe and efficient flow of vehicles and pedestrians through reduction of factors
contributing to accidents.
1.2. Responsibilities. Installation Defense Force Commander (DFC). The DFC is the
Installation Commander's principal advisor on issues pertaining to the lawful movement of
personnel and traffic. The DFC exercises staff responsibility for directing, regulating and
controlling traffic, and enforcing installation rules pertaining to traffic control. DFCs assist
traffic engineers by performing traffic control studies to gather information on traffic problems
and use patterns.
1.3. Delegation of Authority. Installation commanders may delegate their responsibilities
under this manual to their vice commanders, mission support commanders or other group
commanders as appropriate and provided the individual does not occupy a position such as law
enforcement which would constitute a conflict of interest. Commanders should coordinate letters
of delegation through their SJAs.
1.3. (TINKERAFB)The authority of the Installation commander for the administration of
the base motor vehicle traffic supervision program is delegated to 72 MSG/CD. The 72
ABW/CC is the final approving authority for any and all amendments to this supplement.

AFMAN31-116_TINKERAFBSUP_I 23 JANUARY 2014
Chapter 2
DRIVING PRIVILEGES
2.1. Requirements for Driving Privileges. Each Installation Commander will determine if
international driver’s licenses will be recognized and authorized for use on the installation. Take
into consideration the local (civilian) jurisdiction’s policy on recognition and acceptance of
international driver’s licenses. As a general rule, most CONUS civilian jurisdictions will honor
use of international driver’s licenses for short periods of time by non-resident visitors and
assigned military personnel and dependents. When practical, Installation Commanders should
incorporate local guidance to prevent conflicts and confusion.
2.1. (TINKERAFB)A valid state or international driver’s license satisfies driving privilege
requirements on Tinker AFB. Validity includes any state or federal extensions permissible.
2.2. Stopping and Inspecting Personnel or Vehicles.
2.2.1. AFI 31-101, Integrated Defense, and AFI 10-245, Antiterrorism, require Installation
Commanders to develop instructions and guidance that detail stop, inspection, search and
impoundment of motor vehicles at CONUS installation entry gates, to include Air Force
restricted and controlled areas.
2.2.2. MAJCOMs responsible for overseas military installations must provide their
Installation Commanders with written guidelines governing stop, inspection, search and
impoundment of vehicles. This guidance must reflect host nation agreements and pass
appropriate legal review. Note: A combatant commander or those commanding unified forces
may direct guidance covering all installations under their command. In this case, MAJCOMs
must review those policies before issuing their guidance.
2.3. Implied Consent to Blood, Breath or Urine Tests. This requirement must be outlined as
part of installation newcomers briefings and/or inprocessing of newly assigned personnel. Refer
to AFI 31-218 (I) for specific information.
2.4. Implied Consent to Vehicle Impoundment. In addition to those conditions for
impoundment listed in AFI 31-218(I), paragraph 2-3, local situations may arise that require
impoundment. The determination will be made by the Installation Commander or designee.
Installation and unit commanders must view the abandonment of personal property as a
personnel management issue and be diligent in deterring occurrences. Commanders must include
the consequences when personal property is abandoned during familiarization and indoctrination
training into units. Additionally, measures must be established to ensure personal effects are
cleared prior to personnel departing on permanent change-of-station orders.
2.4.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Any vehicle on Tinker AFB which displays obvious
disrepair, mechanical defects, expired state registration or is parked for more than 3 days on a
public street, roadway or public parking area without being moved will have a DD Form
2504, Abandoned Vehicle Notice, placed on it. The 72d Security Forces Squadron will
attempt to notify the registered owner, owner’s unit or civilian supervisor after placement of
the notice. The vehicle will be considered abandoned 72 hours after the placement of the
notice and the vehicle will be towed at the owner’s expense if contact cannot be made.
AFMAN31-116_TINKERAFBSUP_I 23 JANUARY 2014

2.4.2. (Added-TINKERAFB) In addition to the stated reasons for implied consent to
vehicle impoundment in AFI 31-218, the following violations are considered a threat to
public safety or convenience and may warrant the towing or impounding of a vehicle.
Reasonable efforts will be made to have the owner or other designated person move the
vehicle prior to impoundment. All vehicles impounded on Tinker AFB will be stored at the
impounding agency’s lot and the owner will pay all applicable charges and fees. Impounding
rates and fees will be charged in accordance with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety
publication Oklahoma Agencies & Commissions (OAC) 595:25. EXCEPTION: Vehicles
seized by 72 SFS, Investigations Section, or other agency authorized by the Chief of Security
Forces (CSF), or which are involved in a crime will be stored in the 72 SFS impound lot.
2.4.2.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Driving Under Suspension.
2.4.2.2. (Added-TINKERAFB) Driving Under Revocation.
2.4.2.3. (Added-TINKERAFB) Operating a vehicle without physical proof of
insurance verification form in the vehicle (OK Title 47 Ch 7-606).
2.4.2.4. (Added-TINKERAFB) Driving Under the Influence.
2.4.2.5. (Added-TINKERAFB) Mission necessity.
2.4.2.6. (Added-TINKERAFB) Accident where the vehicle is inoperable or the owner
refuses to have it moved.
2.4.2.7. (Added-TINKERAFB) Suspicious vehicles or vehicles presenting a force
protection concern when the owner cannot be contacted.
2.4.3. (Added-TINKERAFB) Repossessing POVs. Any person, company or business
requesting to repossess a vehicle on Tinker AFB will be directed to 72 SFS/S2I. The
requester will furnish legal documents to the 72 SFS for examination. If the agency or
person does not have a court order to repossess the vehicle, the requester will be informed
that repossession will only take place with the mutual consent of the registered owner of the
vehicle. If the registered owner refuses to release the vehicle, the requester will be directed
to leave Tinker AFB until a court order to repossess the vehicle is obtained.
2.4.4. (Added-TINKERAFB) Expired State Registration Tags/License Plates. There is no
grace period for expired vehicle registration tags (state license plates) on Tinker AFB, if the
vehicle state registration tag is more than 90 days the vehicle may be impounded.
EXCEPTION: Personnel returning from deployed status (not more than 2 weeks after
return).
2.5. Suspension or Revocation of Driving Privileges. Installation Commanders must
incorporate procedures governing suspension and revocation in base publications or as a
supplement to this instruction. Make these known to the base population. AF will follow the
administrative due process for suspensions detailed in AFI 31-218(I).
2.5.1. Suspensions.
2.5.1.1. Installation Commanders determine suspension and revocation guidance for nonmoving violations, as well as what constitutes a non-moving violation on their
installation (i.e., performing unauthorized repair; failure to register and insure vehicles;
unauthorized modifications or alterations; failure to maintain safety standards, etc).

Chapter 3
PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLE OPERATION REQUIREMENTS
3.1. General. The Installation Commander will identify requirements to operate a motor
vehicle on the installation.
3.1. (TINKERAFB)General. Requirements for Tinker AFB mirror Oklahoma DMV statutes.
The driver is required to have a valid International or State driver’s license from any state.
3.2. Motorcycles, Motor Scooters and Mopeds. See AFI 91-207, The US Air Force Traffic
Safety Program, for requirements to operate motorcycles, motor scooters and mopeds on AF
installations. Refer to AFI 91-207, para 4.6., for motorcycle training requirements.
3.3. AF Form 75, Visitor/Vehicle Pass. The Security Forces Management Information System
(SFMIS), the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) generated vehicle/visitor passes
or the AF Form 75 are methods to control and identify personnel and vehicles on a temporary
basis. Specific procedures can be found in AFI 31-201, Security Forces Standards and
Procedures, and AFI 31-113, Installation Perimeter Access Control, when implemented.
3.3.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Rental vehicles used by military and DoD personnel do not
require an AF Form 75. The vehicle may proceed in the same manner as a marked
government vehicle after showing the proper identification for entry onto the installation.
3.3.2. (Added-TINKERAFB) The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS)
computer registration program will be utilized to record and issue long term and short
term/temporary AF Form 75 Visitor Passes.
3.4. Handicapped Person Identification. Honor local and state-issued handicap decals,
placards, signs, etc, on all Air Force installations. Upon request from a medical practitioner,
Installation Commanders may authorize issue of a locally devised card or form in OCONUS or
deployed locations where decals are not issued. Locally devised decals will contain an issue and
expiration date and be issued and displayed per local procedures.
3.5. Vehicle Registration at non Air Force Installations. Personnel who live or work on a
DoD Installation or who often use the facilities therein, may be required to register and be issued
a DD Form 2220, Vehicle Decal, for their vehicles at those locations.
3.5.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Tinker AFB no longer issues the DD FM 2220.
3.6. Vehicle Registration at Air Force Installations. Personnel who possess appropriate
credentials to access Air Force Installations do not require a DD Form 2220. Although AFI 31218(I) requires vehicle registration, the Air Force was granted a waiver from this requirement.
Air Force Installations who continue to utilize the DD Form 2220 will use AFI 31-218(I) for
guidance and include any specific requirements for their location in the local traffic plan. The
Air Force will no longer produce DD Form 2220.

minor accidents. Responding Security Forces personnel will complete AFMC Form 625,
Minor Traffic Accident Work Sheets, for all minor vehicle accidents. An exchange of
information between the parties involved will occur in accordance with Oklahoma law at the
time of the accident.
4.2.6. (Added-TINKERAFB) All accident reports will contain seatbelt use and airbag
deployment.
4.3. Traffic Accident Investigation Reports.
4.3.1. Military members report information to Security Forces if they are on/off base
resulting in accidents involving injuries or damage to military property. Local guidance will
capture procedures to accomplish these notifications and the timeframes to report.
Installation Commanders determine what agencies to notify and for what type of accidents to
notify them. The DFC must develop a local notification matrix or other procedures to ensure
proper notification of appropriate base and civilian agencies are conducted. Develop and
publish these notification procedures locally.

and investigative procedures for various types of accidents to include minor vehicle
accidents. S/He may delegate this authority to on-duty Security Forces supervisory
personnel.
4.3.4. Record accident information in the Security Forces blotter. This information should
include the accident type, time and date, location, name(s) of vehicle operator(s), unit (or
address when civilian not affiliated with military), vehicle description and license
number(s)/plate. Also, include a brief summary of any damage and circumstances behind or
causing the accident, as well as any traffic citations issued.
4.3.5. Investigation conducted by Security Forces and/or AFOSI of any traffic accident will
take precedence over any other types of investigations relating to the accident. This
precludes the loss of any potential evidence that may later have to be introduced in any
criminal/judicial proceedings. (Example: Any safety related investigation and/or any other
investigation that may hamper accident investigation practices by Security Forces and/or
AFOSI.)
4.4. Parking.
4.4.1. Reserved Parking. When not addressed by MAJCOMs, Installation Commanders
determine reserved parking guidance for their installations. Number of available spaces,
facility design and layout, traffic flow and number of vehicles using facilities will help
determine the number and location of reserved parking spaces. Make guidance and
procedures governing reserved parking a part of the installation supplement to this
instruction, separate traffic control instruction or installation-parking plan. The publication
must address approval, issue, control and review of reserved parking and should give special
consideration to bicycle, motorcycle, visitor and car pool parking. Consideration should also
be given to labor and management contracts when designating parking. Handicap parking is
regulated under the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and applies to all Air Force
installations.
4.4.2. Use distinctive emblems, decals, stickers, etc, to control parking space assignments
and to indicate authorized use of the parking slot. MAJCOMs (or Installation Commanders if
not addressed by the MAJCOM) may develop guidance concerning the issue and control of
the identification media discussed above. Designation of parking spaces by name, grade, rank
or title should be avoided due to force protection concerns.

4.4.3. Installations may create a parking wardens program to monitor and cite parking
violators at their facilities.
4.4.3.1. If utilized, installations will develop a local publication to
supplement/implement this instruction addressing the parking warden program. The
supplement will include a requirement for individual unit commanders to delegate a
minimum of one primary and alternate at the grade of E-5 or above, in writing. All
monitors will issue parking tickets on the DD Form 1408, Armed Forces Traffic Ticket.
S5R will obtain a letter with the current monitors and maintain the letter on file.
4.4.3.2. Monitors will be trained by the Security Forces unit on the correct procedures to
complete tickets, including the routing process of issued tickets to S5R. The main
difference between a DD Form 1408 issued by a Security Forces member and one by a
parking monitor is the special instructions on the back of the pink copy that directs the
violator to contact the monitor within 24 hours or next duty day who issued the ticket
instead of Security Forces. Monitors will provide contact information on parking tickets
to enable violators to provide information necessary to complete the citation.
4.4.3.3. (Added-TINKERAFB) Monitors will be trained by the Security Forces unit on
the correct procedures to complete tickets, including the routing process of issued tickets
to S5R. The main difference between a DD Form 1408 issued by a Security Forces
member and one by a parking monitor is the special instructions on the back of the pink
copy that directs the violator to contact the monitor within 24 hours or next duty day who
issued the ticket instead of Security Forces. Monitors will provide contact information on
parking tickets to enable violators to provide information necessary to complete the
ticket. Tickets must be forwarded to 72 SFS/S5R within 72 hours of issue. 72 MSG/CD
reserves the right to remove a parking warden if the individual fails to adequately
perform those duties.
4.4.4. (Added-TINKERAFB) 72 SFS will move or cause to be moved a parked vehicle

of parking rows such as present at Bldg 3001, Bldg 820 and others are designated
turning-radius buffers for larger vehicles and are not motorcycle parking spaces marked
by ground paint or elevated signage.
4.4.5.2. (Added-TINKERAFB) Management of Parking Areas. The 72 ABW/CE is
responsible for assigning and authorizing the marking of specific parking areas and
spaces. The establishment of parking areas/spaces will be coordinated with the 72
ABW/CE. Any changes beyond 10 per month in a parking area will be negotiated with
the union.
4.4.5.3. (Added-TINKERAFB) 72 ABW/CE will coordinate with 72 SFS and 72
ABW/SE on construction projects affecting traffic flow and vehicle parking.
4.4.5.4. (Added-TINKERAFB) Handicap parking permits are issued by the respective
state, not Tinker AFB. All requests for handicap parking permits will be made through
the State. Tinker AFB will honor valid handicap parking permits and decals regardless of
the state of issue. The handicap permit must be registered to the person using it. Vehicles
displaying a handicap-parking permit may park in any space designated as such unless
otherwise restricted. A handicap placard does not entitle the user to park in other
reserved spaces such as carpool or reserved, even if all available handicap spaces have
been filled.
4.4.5.5. (Added-TINKERAFB) Government Vehicle Parking. Government vehicles
may be parked in spaces designated for government vehicles or customer service

4.4.5.8. (Added-TINKERAFB) Contractor Loading/Unloading Parking Zones.
Designated contractor loading or unloading zones shall not be utilized for (in lieu of)
contractor parking. Usage of loading/unloading zones shall not exceed 2 hours unless
specific authorization is provided. Tinker AFB employees or contractors that fraudulently

accommodate larger vehicles. Motorcycles and scooters will not be parked in a
designated bicycle parking area.
4.4.5.10. (Added-TINKERAFB) Deployment/TDY Parking. Each unit is responsible
for identifying a Deployment/TDY parking location for their personnel. 72 SFS will
provide a temporary fall back or over flow parking location in the parking lot West of
Bldg 591 in the event a unit’s primary location is full. Units must notify 72 SFS of their
designated location and a POC within the unit for their parking area to avoid impound.
Overflow parking areas are NOT convenience storage. If investigation reveals the

4.4.5.16. (Added-TINKERAFB) Carpool Parking Permits. Carpool permits will be
issued to one participant of each carpool. A carpool is three or more Tinker AFB
employees who ride to work in the same vehicle. Only vehicles designed by the
AFMAN31-116_TINKERAFBSUP_I 23 JANUARY 2014
25
manufacturer to carry three or more passengers may be used for a carpool. All
participants in the carpool must report in person to Pass and Registration to sign an
TINKER AFB Form H-176, Carpool Parking Request. The TINKER AFB Form H-176
will be retained by Pass and Registration. By signing the TINKER AFB Form H-176,
each participant agrees both individually and as a group, to share the responsibility of the
permit and in keeping the carpool valid. One permit will be issued to the group and can
be used by each member. When a carpool drops below three participants, the permit
must be returned to Pass and Registration immediately. When one carpool member is on
leave, the remaining passengers may use the permit. If a member has a shift change for
more than 60 days, and that shift change causes the total number of persons in the carpool
to drop below 3 the permit will be turned in to Pass and Registration. To add or replace
participants of a carpool, the added person must report to Pass and Registration in person
to sign the TINKER AFB Form H-176. Participants must return a faded or mutilated
permit to Pass and Registration for replacement. Lost or stolen permits must be reported
in person to 72 SFS BDOC and a statement completed.
4.4.5.16.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Misuse of carpool parking permits may result in

presumed to be infractions of this directive. Multiple infractions will cause loss of base
driving privileges for all persons involved for a minimum of 30 days but not to exceed 6
months as determined by the installation commander:
4.4.5.17.1. (Added-TINKERAFB) Unauthorized use, possession or display of

Chapter 6
IMPOUNDING PRIVATELY OWNED VEHICLES
6.1. Standards for Impoundment. The on-duty SF Flight Chief, or above, will determine
when the vehicle will be driven or moved without owner’s consent if the owner cannot be
contacted or the owner refuses and conditions in AFI 31-218(I) are present.
6.2. Procedures for Impoundment. At times, civilian law enforcement or civilian government
agencies will request the Air Force impound an on-base vehicle for reasons not related to
military issues. Staff such requests through the SJA and DFC. When appropriate, comply and
support such requests and impound the vehicle for a reasonable period. Release the vehicle if
civil authorities do not take custody of the vehicle within a reasonable period as determined by
Installation Commanders.
6.3. Disposition of Vehicles After Impoundment. Impoundment and disposition of privately
owned vehicles is a high-risk process. It is imperative an installation have a detailed plan to:
Ensure wide publicity of base impoundment rules; have a process to provide reasonable notice of
impoundment and an opportunity to reclaim a vehicle; conduct a review of proposed disposal by
appropriate base offices, to include the SJA, prior to taking action; and a process to obtain retail
records of these actions in the event of litigation or high-level inquiry. Further information on
impoundment can be found in AFI 31-218(I).
