Dear Colleagues,

The university has consolidated the Defensive Driver training and the Driver Registration into a single, streamlined solution called Driver Certification, which will be available in EDGE Learning starting Tuesday, July 9.

All employees who drive for university business must complete the new Driver Certification training in EDGE Learning to ensure compliance with the University of Arizona Fleet Safety Policy<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=1cbcb92cd811033bf59bbf820dc2cd5f2db3c08c29ae946d6646b37a32ba9bca805471aa38dfacce668e4994b52f465f98573d975aeabc9c>.

What to Expect

As an employee currently registered as driving for university business, you will be automatically enrolled in the new training on July 9. You will receive email notifications from EDGE Learning to complete the certification within 60 days.

Beginning July 9, you will also be able to access the training by logging in to Edge Learning<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=1cbcb92cd811033bbd1b18200e2a50b559e37e4d92a65f8dc53d4f6c8daa828ccd8d3da21d35e9b6a1e6f66094f0a9a91c939eb4817fa37d>, going to the “My Learning” section and selecting “Driver Certification.”

About the New Driver Certification
To align with the Arizona Department of Administration fleet safety policy, the university has made the following changes to the University Fleet Safety Program<https://click.comms.arizona.edu/?qs=1cbcb92cd811033b792943d18d45d24c2a9dfbe9775ea5c9a0517708b03908f8b0f60e8f7ee70991a25453e46ee52c721747849395f3a423>, which are reflected in the new Driver Certification training:

  *   The new Driver Certification is a one-time requirement, either upon hiring or when employees are first required to drive for university business.
  *   Once employees complete the Driver Certification training, they will no longer be required to take a refresher training every four years, as long as they are in “acceptable status.”
  *   Employees who drive for university business must have a valid Arizona state driver’s license, have an “Acceptable” Motor Vehicle Review status and complete the Driver Certification training.
  *   There is no longer a minimum age and a 2-year driving experience requirement, unless driving a high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) for the university.
If you have any questions, please contact the Risk Management team at rms-contact at arizona.edu<mailto:rms-contact at arizona.edu?subject=> or (520) 621-1790.  

Thank you for your cooperation in meeting the university’s Fleet Safety Policy requirements.

Sincerely, 

Risk Management
