Reminders from Risk Management
With the coming of summer, Risk Management reminds departments that students hired for summer positions must be authorized before they can be allowed to drive on university business. You can start the authorization process for your student employees by helping them complete a Departmental Request for Driver Authorization-Student/Volunteer Form (PDF) and submitting the form to Risk Management. The form is also available on Risk Management's Use of Vehicles for University Business webpage.
Although motorcycles may be an appealing solution to higher gas prices, especially with the arrival of nicer weather, the Use of Vehicles for University Business policy states that "Motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and similar vehicles MAY NOT be used to conduct university business or for any other university purposes." A staff member may choose to commute on a motorcycle but should not use it to drive to meetings across campus. Neither should motorcycles be used for any official university travel. Please direct any questions about motorcycle use for university business to Risk Management at 765-494-8104 or drivesafe@purdue.edu.
