General
These Regulations apply to the use of University vehicles.
The vehicles shall be used for official business purposes only.
Booking
Currently, three categories of vehicles are available for booking: one private car [JW7858], with priority of use by staff at the level of Dean of Faculty and above only;
five other private cars, restricted for use by staff at Associate Professor (Scale B) and Senior Lecturer and equivalent (MPS) level and above; and one passenger van and one pick-up lorry for use by all staff.
Subject to the availability of vehicles, vehicle bookings for each category are accepted on a first-come first-served basis.
Bookings shall be made through Facilities Management Office (FMO) on the prescribed request form “Services Work Request FM/2/11”, and will be accepted up to one month in advance of the required date. Applicants are required to provide all details such as name(s) of passenger, time, itinerary, purpose etc. on the request form. Normally, not more than one vehicle may be booked by the same applicant for any one trip. A verbal booking must be followed by a request form.
Applicants are advised to check with the Transport Services
Team of FMO at 2788 9434 on the availability of vehicles before submitting the request form. Departments are advised to arrange other means of transport services at their own cost should the University vehicles be not available.
A reservation, once confirmed, may only be cancelled by the staff member making the booking. FMO will not cancel the booking except in cases of emergency and only on the authority of the President or his delegate. Change of time and itinerary may not be entertained unless sufficient advance notification (at least 24 hours) is given and the driver is available.
