Vehicle reporting requirements

To enable the University to meet State of Ohio Vehicle Usage Policies implemented in 2007, the CFAES Motor Pool is establishing the following user requirements.

-All vehicles in the CFAES Fleet must be safety inspected each year. Documentation supporting this inspection must be maintained in a local vehicle maintenance folder, the Wooster Campus Garage Office file and recorded in the mechanized vehicle maintenance record maintained by the CFAES Wooster Motorpool staff. (For Columbus based vehicles, Transportation and Traffic Management.*)  

-Copies of maintenance work orders and/or invoices relating to vehicle repairs must be maintained in a local vehicle maintenance folder, the Wooster Campus Garage Office file. Additionally, all maintenance done on the vehicle must be recorded in the mechanized vehicle maintenance record maintained by the Wooster Campus Garage Office. *

-Per University requirements, mileage logs must be kept in the vehicle to record when and how the vehicle is being used. Completed copies of the mileage logs should be maintained in the vehicle or a local file within the department. Maintaining these logs fulfills a University audit requirement. 

-Fueling of University vehicles at in-house facilities i.e., CFAES Wooster Campus Motorpool, Transportation and Traffic Management in Columbus is a University requirement. Documented cost savings per gallon of fuel: 20 cents per gallon.

-For vehicles assigned to departments, departments are obligated to make all drivers aware of these guidelines and should ensure that they are followed.
