Driver Safety Program
The Driver Safety Program is mandated by state law with the purpose of reducing incidents
and accidents while driving on official University business.听 All employees must be on the currently posted "Authorized Drivers List" to be reimbursed
for any vehicle-related expenses (personally-owned, state-owned, or rental vehicles).
For details on the program please refer to the policy: 听.听

- Send the original, completed authorization form and certificate of completion for
the online driver safety course to the 蜜桔直播 Safety office (255 Strauss Hall) via campus
mail.听
- If you do not possess a Louisiana drivers' license, you must contact your home state's department of motor vehicles and request an official
driving history for yourself. This must be sent with the Driver Authorization Form
and the Defensive Driving certificate to the EHS office. You will be required to submit
an official driving record from your home state annually for continuation as an authorized
driver.
- Familiarize yourself with the rules and requirements set forth by 蜜桔直播's Policy. A
tri-fold brochure can be viewed and printed here: Driver Safety Brochure
Please allow for 5 business days to process paperwork. Times vary due to driver history
report processing once paperwork is received.
NOTE: A new Driver Authorization form must also be completed and submitted to the
EHS office in the event of name change, class of license change, driving restriction
change, or change in state of issuance. (examples include: name change in case of
marriage/divorce, class change from E to D, or from out-of-state to in-state license,
etc.).
All new drivers will be required to take the online defensive driving course within
90 days of hire date.听 All authorized drivers are required to repeat the defensive driving course once
every three (3) years.

the University President or his designee are authorized to sign. **
