Fundamentals of Driver Safety
Who Should Register
This course is required for any individual (employee, faculty, or student) who may drive a University owned or leased vehicle (including low-speed vehicles, such as golf carts) as part of their job duties. This extends to those individuals who may rent a vehicle for use on University business.
Certain employees (e.g. Penn Police) are exempt from this requirement due to other driver safety training they are required to attend.
Please note: Before you can drive a vehicle on behalf of the University you must successfully complete the on-line course(s). Compliance with these requirements is mandatory. Failure to do so may result in:
- Removal of driving privileges
- Unreimbursed rental car expenses
- 100% of vehicle repair costs by the department in the event of an accident
Completion Requirements
- Successful completion of all course modules.
Note that University Policy 2607.1:
- Restricts against the rental of 15-passenger vans for any purpose.
- Requires recertification of the driver safety training every 3 years.
