Accidents and Citations

Question: I received a ticket in a University vehicle. Am I responsible for paying for it?
Answer: Yes, the driver is responsible for all tickets received in University vehicles. Drivers are required to immediately notify their supervisor about citations received while driving on UA business.

Question: Do I have to inform my supervisor of citations I have received outside of work?
Answer: You are only required to notify your supervisor of citations which result in loss or suspension of the driver's license, or any other change to driving status. Examples of these include Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or receiving a moving violation while already on conditional driving status.

Question: I have received notice from the state that I am no longer able to drive (due to suspension, revocation, etc). Am I required to inform my supervisor of this?
Answer: Yes, any change in your legal ability to drive must be conveyed to your supervisor at the earliest opportunity, and before any further driving on UA business.

Question: I have been given a medical restriction from driving from my physician. Am I required to inform my supervisor of this? Is this a violation of my medical privacy?
Answer: If you are required to drive on UA business as part of your job, you are required to comply with the physician's order and immediately advise you supervisor that you cannot drive. You are not required to provide the details of your medical condition to your supervisor. However, if the driving restriction is associated with a qualifying disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), then your supervisor may need to consult with the Disability Resource Center concerning options for reasonable accommodation per UA policy.

Question: I have had an accident while driving on UA business. Do I have to report this? Who do I report the accident to?
Answer: Yes, all accidents while driving on UA business must be reported to the driver's supervisor, and Risk Management & Safety as soon as possible. Accidents that involve injury to any person or property damage greater than very minor scrapes must also be reported to the local law enforcement agency where the accident occurred. Drivers and their supervisors are required to complete a written Auto Loss Report Form and submit to RM&S as soon as possible after the accident.
