Department Vehicles

Departments can submit requests to purchase their own vehicle based on their department's needs. Currently, only specialized vehicles will be approved (e.g., boats, trailers, street sweepers). While these vehicles are department-controlled, they must be registered with Fleet Services to ensure the University's auto insurance policy can be applied.
