The goal of the Department of Transportation is employee safety in every venue. In keeping with this goal, the following policy has been written.

Driver Safety Training, which is being taught by Department personnel, shall be a requirement of Department of Transportation Employees as follows:

1. Required:
   1. Employees assigned a Department vehicle.
   2. Employees using a Department vehicle in the routine performance of their assigned duties.

2. Optional:
   1. Employees using a Department vehicle for infrequent business use may apply to take the course at their discretion with their supervisor’s approval and will be admitted as class space permits.
   2. All other Department employees may apply to take the course at their discretion with their supervisor's approval and will be admitted as class space permits.

The course must still be organized through the Office of Strategic Development and employees must adhere to all registration requirements.

Employees in 1(a) and (b) shall have priority and be registered first from the list of applicants for any given class date. Following these categories, employees in 2(a) will be registered. When all employees in these three categories on the waiting list for any given class date have been registered, employees in 2(b) will be registered.

Employees in 1(a) and (b) will be required to complete the course at three year intervals. Employees in 2(a) and (b) may re-apply to take the course once each three years and will be admitted as class space permits.
