PSS Dept. Van Reservation & Use Policy

  • Vehicle reservations will be on a first-come first-served basis. Priority will be for class related use, front office/administrative needs and transportation of official guests.
  • Departmental vehicles are intended to support short-term transportation needs around campus and the Lexington area. Vehicle requests for multi-day use, workshops or conferences require Chair approval.
  • Departmental vehicles are NOT intended as supplementary vehicles for programs that already have access to a project vehicle.
  • Fuel and maintenance charges will be distributed across program accounts monthly.
  • Vans should be refueled (at motor pool or farm facilities) before returning if fuel levels are below ½ tank.
  • Vans should be returned in good condition (clean, no trash). If returned in poor condition, a cleaning fee ($150) will be charged to the account on file.
  • Drivers must sign vans out and obtain keys from PSB front office. Keys should be returned to the front office immediately upon vehicle return (there is a slot in the door for after-hours return).
  • Maintenance needs/warnings should be reported to front office staff.
  • Repeated failure to comply with policies will result in a suspension of van use privileges.
  • Use of state vehicles requires completion of a Motor Vehicle Release (MVR) form.
  • Drivers of the large van (Ford Transit) must have completed high capacity passenger van awareness training.
  • Departmental vehicles may be reserved by reaching out to Zoë Womack in PSB 105.
