Vehicle and cart driver guidelines *

Vehicles and carts are only to be used by currently Recreation staff, volunteers or approved Comp Sports Athletes holding current licenses.
Vehicles and carts are only to be used for official university business.
When operating a vehicle or cart, all California or local driving laws and traffic signs must be followed.
No cell phone use or texting while driving.
Accidents (injury to person or damage to vehicle or cart) must be reported to my supervisor immediately.
Any accidents or vehicle code violations may become part of the permanent record with your insurance carrier and/or the DMV.
UCSD Recreation may check my Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driving record every few months and will be notified if there is activity on my driving record.
After use, vehicles must be trash & cargo free, returned to appropriate location and secured. Keys must be returned to appropriate location.
Vehicles must be gassed up if there is less than 3/4 tank. Carts must be plugged in for charging.
Personal vehicles may not be gassed up at Fleet Services.
Any maintenance issues or observed damage should be reported to your supervisor as soon as possible.
Failure to comply with use policy, render common courtesies or follow rules of the road could result in: citation, appropriate disciplinary action, suspension of driving privileges.

Nissan NV guidelines *

All costs for insurance, maintenance, repairs and fueling are applied to Outback's indexes.
The Nissan NV vans are equipped with GPS monitors that report speed, location and other information to Outback Adventures admin staff.
Nissan NV vans must be returned to Recreation pro staff unless prior arrangements are made with Tom or Simon.
If seats are removed, they must be stored in a protected location. After van use is complete, they must placed back in the van and properly secured.

Cart driver guidelines *

Pedestrians, skaters and bicyclists always have the right of way.
Carts must not be used on designated campus bike paths.
When following or passing pedestrians, skaters, or bicyclists, they should be given a large cushion of space.
Keys must be removed from cart when not in use to reduce unauthorized use. If provided, the “club” (steering wheel locking device) must be utilized if the cart is not going to be driven for an extended period of time or is parked overnight.

If a vehicle collision happens *

Do not admit or accuse fault
Call the UCSD Police if the incident happens on campus, and wait for an officer to prepare a report before anyone leaves the scene. Off campus, the Highway Patrol will respond to injury or major collisions only — not minor fender-benders. If off campus police do not complete an accident report, go to the UCPD as soon as possible to complete an accident report.
Fill out the UCSD Vehicle/Cart Incident Report at the scene of the incident before either party leaves. Forms are stored in the glove box of UCSD vehicles. Get 2 independent witnesses if possible.
Call my supervisor and area director to report the accident ASAP.
Call Risk Management, (858) 246-0369, and Fleet Services, (858) 534-3485, within 24 hours.

What happens after a vehicle collision. *

The DMV receives notification of an incident if the damage is over $750, which may increase your personal auto insurance premiums or jeopardize coverage with your personal auto insurance company.
For a liability incident, your department budget will be charged a $500 deductible and 20% of the claim cost per incident. In addition, the yearly premium will include a surcharge for the next 3 years.
A deductible of $500 will also be paid by the department/area if the UCSD vehicle is damaged. Gross negligence will be a higher cost, determined per incident.
If the incident results in a lawsuit, you may be named as a defendant, deposed, and have to testify in court.
You and your supervisor may be asked to attend a meeting with Risk Management and the UCSD Vehicle Accident Review Board to discuss the incident.

Are you a Challenge Course Lead Facilitator or Outback Admin? *

Special requirements-cart access to challenge course. *

Only Outback admin staff and approved Lead Facilitators are allowed to operate a cart on the trail to access the challenge course.
The cart will only be used to access the challenge course under special circumstances where there is a need to transport large or heavy cargo to/from the course or transport physically challenged or disabled participants.
Cart will not be used to access the challenge course for simple convenience or to save time.
Cart will not be used to access the challenge course when trails are wet or slippery.
Cart drivers will drive slowly on the trail and yield to cyclists, walkers and runners.

Access location *

The only acceptable and safe location for the cart to enter the path to the challenge course is just north of the trail description sign along Hopkins Drive.
The mountain bike/hiking trail access point at the sidewalk at the intersection of Voigt and Hopkins is not an acceptable cart access location.
I have reviewed the photos and understand the acceptable entrance location. I will only use this access point.

By signing below, I certify that I have read through and understand all the items included in this training. *
