All drivers of university vehicles must have their drivers license approved by the University.  Forms are available in the Environmental Science Office.  You must allow at least 3 weeks for an approval to be submitted and cleared. A fee is charged by the University for the approval process.

NEW:  Due to a new University rule, the ESP van is only permitted to transport the driver and 11 passengers.  Also, for each 150 pounds of equipment carried, subtract 1 person from the 12 person total limit.
