In order to drive a lease vehicle or a vehicle from the Physical Plant motor pool, a driver must meet certain requirements and be cleared by the University Director of Safety.
Contact Kathy Willis with any question concerning short term vehicle leasing or about vehicles on campus that may be available. You may reach her at 864-388-8098 or via email at kwillis@lander.edu.
Before you can reserve a vehicle, a Travel Authorization (TA) must be completed. Please turn your completed TA form in to the Business Office. They will assign a TA number and then notify Kathy with the TA information.
**Please be sure to mark either Leased or University Vehicle on your TA. Please type in what type of vehicle you require in Other (ex: luxury car, SUV, cargo van, etc.)**
Kathy will make all arrangements, whether you choose University Vehicle or Leased Vehicle. Kathy will also contact you with availability.
Please put a phone number on your TA where you most likely can be reached.
The Physical Plant has 2 vehicles within their motor pool that are available for use. The vehicles are a 2015 Ford 15 Passenger Van and a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria.
You will be given a fuel credit card for your use with either a University or Leased Vehicle. Please be sure to fill up the gas tank before returning any vehicle back to campus. To use the fuel card, you will need to enter the number 7 and the last 5 digits of your social security number. You will also be asked what the current mileage is for whichever vehicle you may be using.
