Memorandum No. MVG-03-95
FOR:  All Vice Presidents
      All Chancellors
      Heads of Units

Subject: Authority to Drive Government Vehicles
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Office has been receiving queries on whether or not non U.P. contractual 
 employees may be given authority to drive government vehicles. We wish to 
 clarify once and for all that only those who are duly appointed as Drivers and 
 with professional drivers license can be allowed to drive government vehicles.

In very meritorious cases however, a head of unit may authorize an employee 
 with non-driver position to drive as long as he has valid professional driver’s 
 license.

Head of Units who authorize non-U.P. employees to drive will be answerable 
 should an accident occurs.

Please disseminate this memorandum circular to all your constituents for the 
 protection of the University in case of accident or other untoward incident involving 
 its official vehicles.

Thank you.

Martin V. Gregorio
Vice President for Administration
