Vehicle Use

Sec. 44.68.040 states that an employee who violates this regulation is subject to dismissal from State employment upon hearing for other dismissals for cause.

Alaska Statute, Sec. 44.68.010 states: "State-owned vehicles may be used only in the conduct of State business. A State officer or employee may not use or permit use of State owned vehicles except in the conduct of State business."

This means you cannot use a GI vehicle for any reason other than official University business. Other uses such as driving to the movies, shopping excursions, personal uses, or transporting family members are not allowed.

Other Conditions of GI Vehicle Use Policy:

  • You must possess a valid Alaska driver's license.
  • Effective March 31, 2001, you must have completed the UAF Driver Safety Class.
  • Vehicle must be returned in same condition as when checked out (full of fuel, clean inside).
  • Report all mechanical deficiencies to Operations (x7291).
  • Report all accidents. Notify each of the following: 911, UAF Security (x7721), and Operations (x7291). See accident folder in glove box.
  • Do not transport hazardous materials or chemicals in GI vehicles unless you possess a State of Alaska commercial driver's license (CDL with appropriate endorsements) and the vehicle is properly placarded.
