The use of vehicles for university business is governed by the U of A Fleet Safety Policy. An update and revision of the policy was approved by the President's Cabinet, effective September 2, 2008. The policy establishes the management framework for fleet safety that will minimize losses and maintain compliance with state rules governing loss control programs for state agencies. All managers, supervisors, and authorized drivers are urged to review the policy in detail to ensure proper implementation and compliance at the departmental level.
