1. Prior to driving a Husky Motors owned vehicle all students, staff, and faculty will need to sign up in FleetCommander. By creating an account in FleetCommander, you give Husky Motors authorization to verify the MVR for your account.  Users MVR must be verified to drive or rent a vehicle from Husky Motors.  As soon as the MVR is obtained and evaluated, the driver will be notified if they will not be permitted to operate the University owned vehicle.
   1. • All drivers are required to have no more than a total combination of five (5) current points in the Michigan (or any other) point system, with no single infraction totaling more than three (3) points.
2. No one under the age of 18 years will be permitted to drive any University owned vehicle, or transport other students, faculty, or staff on University sanctioned or sponsored events.
3. Anyone wishing to drive a 12-15 passenger van must also complete and pass an online van safety course.
4. MVR reviews will be conducted at least once per academic year for anyone wishing to drive a University owned or leased vehicle.
