Any person (faculty, staff, student worker or university guest) intending to drive a university vehicle must have a valid driver's license and must meet the requirements of the university's insurance company. Verification of this compliance must be on file with the Facilities Services Office before anyone will be allowed to drive a university vehicle.
    Please note: If the driver has more than two accidents or moving violations on his/her record in the last three years, he or she is not eligible to drive a university-owned vehicle.
