When available, they may be used by other departments/divisions for college-related purposes on a cost basis and on other terms as may reasonably be established by the Director of Facilities Management.

College Vans and Cars - These vehicles may be used by college employees on college-related business subject to availability of vehicles under the procedural requirements as follows:

1. Requesters can phone in a vehicle reservation to the Facilities Management Office. The office will pencil in your request and hold it for 24 hours while you process your written "Vehicle Request" form (see 915.6-Supplement 1). Failure to submit a written request will nullify your verbal reservation.

5. College-owned vehicles can not be driven to and from an employee's home or parked overnight at an employee's home.
6. Fuel and maintenance services will be provided by the Maintenance Department. Any necessary outlays for fuel or service while enroute will be reimbursed to the employee upon submission of an expense report with receipts.
7. All vehicles are supplied with a free full fuel tank. Additional fuel while enroute can be charged to the College credit cards and billed to the using department. Fuel tanks do not need to be filled prior to returning vehicle.
