June 22: 2-5pm - High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Training
USA Bldg Rm 104 (register
on-line)
The HOV training program has been modified to meet State of
Arizona requirements. HOVs are defined as any full size van
or Sport Utility Vehicle with seating capacity of 8-15, and
full size cargo vans. Minivans and SUVs with seating
capacity of less than 8 do NOT require HOV driver training
or certification. All HOV drivers (faculty, staff,
students, volunteers) must attend a classroom training
session, AND successfully complete a behind-the-wheel road
test conducted by RM&S or other authorized observer. Road
tests conducted by RM&S are scheduled separately from the
classroom training, and must be done by appointment. The
behind-the-wheel road test takes about 30 minutes to
complete. Departments may conduct the behind-the-wheel road
test at their own convenience with their own staff upon
prior approval and authorization by RM&S. Those interested
in conducting their own behind-the-wheel road tests should
contact John Murphy at 621-4551 or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu for orientation and approval.
For details on these new requirements, and other important
policy changes, see the new UA Fleet Safety Policy.
Classes are subject to cancellation or re-scheduling based
on the number of registrations received. To register
for an HOV training session, or a behind-the-wheel road
test, contact Sara Thomas at 626-1136 or
sthomas@email.arizona.edu or
register on-line. For questions about the training
requirement and HOV policy, contact John Murphy at 621-4551
or
murphjoh@email.arizona.edu. |

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
