Distracted Driver Awareness Month

by   |  04.04.22  |  Announcements

From Risk Management: April is distracted driver awareness month and we all need to do our part to recognize the dangers in distracted driving. Please take time to review this infographic and share the message with your friends and family.
 
If you operate vehicles for university business, please read and follow the University Driver Policy. The policy requires that departments maintain a list of their Routine Drivers (as defined in the policy) and share it annually with the Office of Institutional Compliance and Risk Management. Routine drivers must have a motor vehicle record check (MVR) conducted each year, and they must complete an online driver safety training course every five years. Risk Management can provide links for both and can review MVR or training history if needed. Moreover, all trips with passengers must submit a passenger list to Risk Management before departure. The passenger list must include each traveler’s first and last name, cell phone, Banner ID, and emergency contact information. The list may be emailed to risk@acu.edu. If you have any questions, please contact Risk Management at risk@acu.edu.
