It is mandatory that anyone requested to or required to drive a University of Idaho vehicle successfully take a defensive driving course and has had a successful drivers record check. A driver record should be obtained when the employee is first hired or before the employee’s initial use of a university vehicle.  Records need to be rechecked every three (3) years.  Checks for the State of Idaho may be made by designated and approved unit personnel using the Idaho Department of Transportation’s website, Access Idaho.  Out of state license holders are responsible for providing a current copy of their driving record.  

The policy for using UI vehicles is found in the Administrative Procedures Manual Chapter 5, Section 09.  The driver's record request forms, and Vehicle Use Agreement are available by accessing the link by the form or from the Administrative Procedures Manual.  Risk maintains the current list of employees able to conduct the driver record checks.
