Before operating any university owned, leased, or rented motor vehicles for official university business, a 3-year history of an employee's Texas driver license record must be obtained, reviewed, and assigned an acceptable rating per UTS 157*. If a full 3-year history is not available from the Texas Department of Public Safety, then it is the employee's responsibility to obtain and provide a copy of their driving records from any previous state(s) of residence.
NOTE: Employees are not allowed to drive any UTA vehicles until they receive notice that their driving record has been approved and they have successfully completed the Defensive Driving Awareness Course (online https://uta-ehs.org). Please allow up to five (5) business days to process the request. Contact our office at ehsafety@uta.edu with any questions.
