College vehicles are to be used for official college business only.

Drivers of Motor Pool vehicles are subject to all Federal, State, and local laws, speed limits, and other restrictions of the local jurisdictions through which they travel. Fines resulting from violations are the responsibility of the driver, not the college.

Authorized College employees or currently enrolled students must meet the following requirements to drive a Motor Pool vehicle:
1) Be at least 18 years of age.
2) Have at least one year of experience in the class of vehicle operated.
3) Have a valid driver’s license issued in the state of residence for the class of the vehicle being operated and be able to drive a vehicle.  Obtaining a driver’s license is a personal expense.

Qualifications
Drivers will not qualify for driving a college vehicle if, during the last 60 months, the driver has had any of the following:
· Conviction of a felony
· Conviction of sale, handling or use of drugs
· Automobile insurance, cancelled, declined or not renewed
· Conviction of an alcohol or drug related offense while driving
· Driver's license suspended or revoked
· Conviction of 3 or more speeding violations or one or more other serious violations
· Charged in 2 or more accidents

Drivers will receive a 1 yr suspension from driving a College vehicle for conviction of speeding 15 mph above the posted limit.

Vans/Buses
Drivers of high occupancy vehicles are required to complete a training session prior to use.  Faculty and staff  call Campus Police (x2178) to schedule training.  Students follow these procedures. 

Record Checks
State Motor Vehicle Records (MVRs) are the source of verifying driver history.  MVRs are reviewed annually by HR.  Driving privileges may be withdrawn or suspended and/or College vehicles removed for any authorized driver not meeting the above requirements.  Appropriate disciplinary action may also be taken.

Please Note: A Vehicle Request Form must be filled out by the requester and signed by the department head to reserve a vehicle. The reservation is not confirmed until the completed and signed form is received by the Work Order Desk  at 209 Ridge Rd. (Warehouse/Shops building).
