Van Use Policy


The college seeks to provide transportation at a modest cost for college-sponsored activities. The vans are in the college transportation pool. Scheduling of vans is done at the Physical Education Center during the school year and at the Business Office during the summer. The following priorities have been established for use of the vans: regularly scheduled
inter-collegiate events, academic classes, make-up athletic events, field trips, and certain other college-sponsored activities.

Procedures

  1. Van use should be requested in writing on a "Requisition for College Vehicles" submitted to the appropriate party (see above).
  2. Keys, credit cards, insurance papers, etc. in a packet should be picked up at the P.E. Center or Business Office as prearranged.
  3. The "Daily Vehicle (trip) Report" in the packet should be filled out and returned with the packet at the conclusion  of the trip.
  4. Vehicles should be refueled upon return to campus.
  5. The Athletic Director will prescribe the routing for each inter-collegiate team trip. Drivers are expected to follow this
    routing.

General Policy

  1. A faculty member, staff member, or student twenty-one years of age or older acceptable to the Treasurer should serve as the driver.
  2. If a second (or third) vehicle is used, it should follow the vehicle in which the faculty or staff member is riding with the two vehicles remaining together throughout the trip.
  3. If available, vans may be used for other college-sponsored activities with an acceptable driver.

Exceptions are to be cleared with the Athletic Director during the school year and the Vice President for Finance during the summer.

The appropriate account will be charged 36 cents per mile for use of a van.
