Several important changes in UW's vehicle policy will take effect July 1.
Among them:
- New definitions and guidance for the use of "university vehicles" and "private vehicles
being used for university business";
- Updated driver qualification standards, including requirements for Motor Vehicle Record
(MVR) checks;
- Clarification of who may be transported in vehicles being used on university business;
- Implementation of a waiver process for non-university passengers traveling in private
vehicles used for university business;
- Detailed procedures for procurement, licensing, transfer, disposal, service and repair
of university vehicles; and
- A deductible provision that requires departments to pay a deductible for at-fault
accidents involving university vehicles.
The documents and FAQs can be read at http://Uwyo.edu/vehiclepolicy. Portions of the
new policy may affect your employment.
