Purpose

Boston University is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the University community while they are traveling. These guidelines are intended to:

  • Inform standards for appropriate use of vehicles used for University related business by students, coaches, and volunteers.
  • Reduce the frequency and cost of motor vehicle accidents.
  • Recommend training schedules, as needed.
  • Minimize risk by ensuring that drivers are validly licensed and trained, and that driving histories are satisfactory.

These guidelines establish minimum standards; departments are encouraged to modify or enhance driving safety programs to meet the needs of the operation.
