Members of the UGA community may have work assignments that involve driving a vehicle to accomplish University business. The UGA motor vehicle use policy, effective since July 1, 2020, requires all UGA faculty, staff, volunteers, and independent contractors to complete the following annually:

• Complete the UGA Motor Vehicle Use Policy online training in the Professional Education Portal (PEP)
• Complete the driver acknowledgement form

Below is an excerpt from the policy describing those to whom the annual training and form submission applies:

• All drivers who drive on University business regardless of frequency and location of driving shall be subject to annual training.
