- Vehicles may be reserved by FHSU employees. Simply fill out a Transportation Requisition in Workday (go to External Resources, Motor Pool, Transportation Requisition Voucher Form.)
- The employee must be at least 18 years of age to drive a Motor Pool vehicle.
- Vehicles must be picked up from and returned to the Motor Pool at the appointed times.
- A credit card is in the glove compartment for gasoline purchases. All credit card sales slips must be attached to the clipboard in the glove compartment.
- Be sure to enter the ending mileage on the vehicle log. Please list the total number of gallons of gas purchased and the total price on the vehicle log. Use a separate page for any comments about the vehicle.
- Kindly give 24 hours' notice, if a reserved vehicle will not be needed. A waiting list is maintained and adequate notice may allow someone else to utilize a vehicle.
- State employees are covered by insurance purchased by the state only when they are acting within the scope of their authority or within the course of their employment. Insurance purchased by the State does not necessarily eliminate the desirability of the individual to whom the vehicle is assigned having additional protection by a "drive other vehicle" endorsement on his own insurance.
