When a D/D decides there is a need for a vending machine in its area, it should contact the Program Administrator in the Maintenance Division (MNT) to seek authorization by obtaining a Commission Minute Order.

The Program Administrator is the main point of contact for vending machines in all D/Ds and is the Vending Machine Coordinator.

MNT reviews and recommends site locations for installation of vending machines at all TxDOT safety rest areas. Vending machine installations at other TxDOT facilities or offices do not require a MNT site location and review process.
