All approved vehicle requests must be received by the Motor Pool/Transportation office at least 48 hours prior to the intended trip. Weekend and Monday requests must be received by Thursday at noon. Vehicles cannot be requested for any non-student involved professional development programs.
Requests received less than 2 business days in advance may not be able to be granted. If granted, these requests will be assessed a $50 fee.
- By submitting a vehicle request I acknowledge that I have read and understand the rate and fee schedule described below.
In keeping with the university's concern for safety and security, the university reserves the right to grant, deny, or restrict any and all privileges to drive or use university vehicles. The Motor Pool/Transportation Department reports to 果冻传媒's Chief of Police and is responsible for making sure that all procedures for the use of university vehicles are followed. Such procedures are designed to support the university's focus on safety and security and also to assure quality service and convenience to all departments and organizations using Transportation Services. It is the expectation that all users of Transportation/Motor Pool services will respect and comply with all procedures.
NOTE: Failure to comply with these procedures and expectations will result in the following penalties assessed to the department or organization:
- Failure to return a vehicle by the time designated on the request: $50
- Failure to return a vehicle to the Krieg lot or other location specifically designated on the Vehicle Request Form: $50
- Failure to return a vehicle with at least 1/2 tank of gas: $50

Please understand that the motor pool procedures are designed to maximize the safe use of the motor pool fleet and are intended to provide quality and convenient services to all users. The above fees are designed to discourage users from negatively impacting the work and/or travel experience of others. To that end, the above fees will not be waived.
