The fleet manager assigns and meets with campus coordinators to administer departmental vehicles and comply with reporting requirements of the state's Office of Vehicles and Fleet Maintenance.

  • Operators of university-owned vehicles are required by the Texas Government Code and university policy to report daily use of the vehicles. Reports are to be completed daily using a Texas Vehicle Use Report form. The monthly report must be completely filled out, signed and sent to the manager of transportation by the fifth calendar day of the following month. The transportation manager will report mileage to the state as required. Departments failing to submit the required report(s) by the fifth calendar day of the month may be assessed a late penalty of $100 by the vice president for finance and administration, and continued violations can result in loss of university vehicle privileges.
