Student Center vehicles are primarily for Student Center/Auxiliary Services business. Georgia Tech chartered student organizations and campus departments will be allowed to use the Student Center Vehicles when available. Chartered student organizations must meet all criteria of the Georgia Tech Volunteer Driver Program in order to drive a Student Center vehicle. The following are guidelines for use:
-
Only authorized personnel (professional faculty, staff and student volunteer drivers) will be permitted to drive the vehicles. Student drivers must meet all criteria of the Volunteer Driver Program. All drivers must have a valid Class 1 license.
-
Service for all vehicles (oil, air pressure, etc.), if needed during use, will be the immediate responsibility of the person to whom the vehicle is assigned. The vehicle will be supplied with a near-full tank of gas and it is requested that the vehicle be returned with a near-full tank of gas.
-
Major/Minor problems experienced while driving the vehicle should be reported to the Operations Manager in the Administrative Office (3rd floor) as soon as possible. Call (404) 894-2788 to report any problems.
-
If an accident occurs while the vehicle has been rented, stay at the scene of the accident and exchange information with the other party. You MUST get their name, address and phone number as well as the name of the Police Office it was reported to and what county they work in. That information MUST be reported to the Operations Manager or Associate Director of Operations within 24 hours of the accident.
-
State insurance will not cover the occupants of the vehicle if they are doing anything other than official business on behalf of Georgia Tech. This includes stopping for a meal after an event or going to the bank on the way to a conference to get money. All “personal” business should be conducted in another vehicle and not one owned by Georgia Tech.
