Procedures for operating a vehicle including purchasing a vehicle, mileage logs, and accident reporting are contained in UPPS 05.05.03. Fleet Management Plan.

Vehicle Purchase/Replacement Request form (Attachment I in Fleet Management Plan). Submit signed form to the Fleet Manager at fleetmgmt@txstate.edu for processing.

Driving a University Vehicle

All personnel who drive University Vehicles are required to have a drivers license check prior to driving. We have the ability to check Driver Records over the internet. Policies concerning driving a University Vehicle are outlined in UPPS 05.05.02, Driver Selection.

The Facilities Department has created a step-by-step video demonstration on how to submit a driver request (employees only). Non-employee drivers, e.g., non-employed student, volunteer, or visitor will process driving requests through their sponsoring department vehicle coordinator or department head.

Fleet Gas Cards

Facilities Management oversees the State Gas Card program at Texas State-University. Personnel using state gas cards must have a PIN loaded in the Fleet Gas Card system. This is provided to you upon completion of the Become a Driver module in SAP.
