The head of the department or designated department vehicle coordinator to which the vehicle is assigned must authorize the use of a University-owned vehicle. The use of all University-owned vehicles will be confined strictly to the conducting of official business of the University. There may be situations where the best interest of the University is served by having the driver retain possession of the vehicle during non-duty periods and authorization to do so should be cleared with the department head and Transportation Services Director.

University vehicles are not to be used for personal use per Nebraska Statute No. 81-1024

"No officer or employee of the State of Nebraska shall use any motor vehicle owned by the State of Nebraska for any personal use whatsoever. Any officer or employee who shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a Class V misdemeanor, and in addition thereto the officer or employee shall be deemed guilty of official misconduct in office for palpable omission of duty, and upon conviction thereof the court shall have the power to add to the judgment that any officer or employee shall be removed from office or employment."
