A state regulation requires all employees who drive on university business to pass an online defensive driving course and submit their driver\u2019s license number for periodic records review.<\/p>\n
The law affects all faculty, staff and students who drive any university-owned motorized vehicles or who drive their own personal or rented vehicles for university business and are reimbursed.<\/p>\n
The new regulations change the current Fleet Safety Program by creating conditions for \u201cauthorized driver\u201d under state law. The full policy may be reviewed\u00a0online<\/a>.<\/p>\n All authorized drivers will be required to have a review of their driver\u2019s record, which will be conducted at least annually. The review will cover the most recent 39-month period. They also will be required to complete a 90-minute online\u00a0defensive driving course<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n To become an authorized driver, register by using the \u201cself service\u201d module in\u00a0PeopleSoft<\/a>. Individuals who may not have an Arizona driver\u2019s license should contact their immediate supervisor so they can request other state licensing records by accessing and filling out the\u00a0non-Arizona driver\u2019s license request form<\/a>.<\/p>\n Both the online course and the license number registration should be completed before the next time individuals operate a vehicle. All employees should have completed both requirements by Nov. 1. If the steps are not completed, the driver is not eligible to operate or check out an NAU vehicle, or be reimbursed for university travel expenses.<\/p>\n Questions may be directed to\u00a0Robert Chavez<\/strong>, director of Operations, at (928) 523-6434 or\u00a0Robert.Chavez@nau.edu<\/a>.
