VEHICLE USAGE PROCEDURES
I. Overview These procedures have been established to protect the safety of individuals operating any motor vehicle, College or personal, in the course of conducting business on behalf of the College. Protecting our employees, students and the general public is the highest priority to CCAC. The College expects defensive driving on the part of all authorized drivers, the use of common sense, and strict obedience to all federal, state and local regulations. The commitment of management and employees is critical to the success of this program. Strict adherence to these procedures is therefore required.
