Use of Vehicle during Travel
Motor Pool Usage
To reserve a UCA vehicle thru the UCA Motor Pool: Bus/Shuttle Request Form
$1 per mile or $60 minimum will be deducted from your departmental travel line in your budget for usage of UCA buses/shuttles. Your Bus/Shuttle request form will serve as the supplies and service form for payment.
If the UCA bus/shuttle travel will result in an overnight stay, the department is responsible for the cost of the driver’s hotel and food. The driver is responsible for initial payment of these costs but ultimately it will be deducted from your departmental travel line. Note: It is the department’s responsibility to include the driver’s hotel reservation in initial travel plans.
