Automobile Insurance and Liability
The Automobile Physical Damage coverage provides collision and comprehension coverage for University owned vehicles. Drivers operating University vehicles must have a valid (and appropriate)class drivers license for the vehicle being driven, have completed the Driver Acknowledgement Form, and use vehicles for University business only.
Automobile Liability coverage protects employees on University business against personal liability for damages arising out of the operation of state owned, personally owned, or short term rental vehicles. The auto liability program is included under the State Tort Claims Policy and General Liability.
