Vehicles and Parking
(NOTE: see bottom half of this page for parking of Personal Vehicles)All of our State of new Mexico (University of New Mexico) vehicles must be signed out from our General Services Assistant in Room 163 (Shipping and Receiving Room). The use of the vehicle must be signed out, and in, on the clipboard in his office, as well as the black book for each separate vehicle being filled out with mileages at the start and end of your use of each vehicle. Use of vehicles must be pre-recorded and pre-requested by as much time as possible to avoid conflicts of needs. Reservations will be posted on the board opposite the double doors just outside of Room 163. You MUST PROVIDE the Facilities Services Tech, Steve Portillo, or Gary Harrison with your driving permit ON EVERY OCCASION OF USE, since we will be held responsible not just for your having a permit, but that you also have it with you every time you use one of our vehicles. NO EXCEPTIONS! This includes having BOTH permits when driving a UNM VAN.
ALL VEHICLES REQUIRE A SPECIAL STATE OF NEW MEXICO OPERATORS PERMIT AS WELL AS YOUR REGULAR STATE OF NEW MEXICO DRIVERS LICENSE. To obtain this permit you MUST sign up, take, and complete, the SHEA Defensive Driving Class at UNM or their acceptable equivalent. This is a two four hour session class. To be allowed to drive a UNM 15 passenger van you must ALSO TAKE two classes for van drivers. There are NO EXCEPTIONS OR TEMPORARY USE PERMITS for this policy.
To sign up for the driver classes please note that you MUST attend once signed up, and if you fail to, without the SHEA specified notice, the department will be charged a $25.00 no-show fee.
