Driver Eligibility & University Travel Policy Review Session

Driver Eligibility & University Travel Policy

Effective November 1, 2019, the new Driver Eligibility & University Travel Policy will replace the Heidelberg University Travel Policy. The new policy was approved by the Senior Leadership Team and the Board of Trustees on October 19, 2019 and incorporates information and guidelines to provide clarity and information on how an individual may be approved to drive on behalf of the University as well as when an individual may have that privilege revoked. The Driver Eligibility & University Travel Policy is designed to promote the safety of Heidelberg University students, faculty, staff, volunteers and guests engaged in University travel. Key changes include:

• Newly established driver approval guidelines for individuals wishing to operate owned, rented or leased vehicles as an authorized driver for the

University.

• Minor and Major Violations rubric which identifies under what conditions an individual may or may not be eligible to operate a vehicle on behalf of the

University.
