Staff, Faculty, & Students
A Motor Pool Request is required to reserve any type of vehicle. To reserve vehicle click on 'Online Requests' towards the bottom of the Facilities Management page or the direct online request link page. Support staff may complete the Motor Pool request, however, a drivers name is required. An email will be sent to the signature authority once the Motor Pool request form is submitted.
Note: A vehicle is not reserved until the signature authority authorizes the rental. Once the rental is authorized, the requestor will receive an email confirming their reservation.

Keys, mileage card, and gas card (if needed) must be picked up at the Motor Pool office during normal business hours (Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.). If you are departing outside of normal business hours please pick up the keys prior to close of business a day ahead of time. Vehicles cannot be removed from the Motor Pool parking lot until scheduled time of departure.

Clubs & Organizations
Motor Pool rents vehicles to departments including clubs and organizations for various club/organization related activities. To ensure that a vehicle is available for your event, be sure to reserve your vehicle well in advance of travel. In order to reserve a Motor Pool vehicle you must have the club account set up and complete an expense form - this is done in the SURC Accounting office, located at the SURC 263. Once an expense form is completed and approved, complete an online request to reserve the vehicle.

Vehicle Not Available? You can check vehicle availability when submitting the online request. If a vehicle is not available, call Motor Pool for additional information.

When the trip is completed the driver will return the vehicle to the Motor Pool parking lot. Complete the mileage form with the starting and ending mileage and time. Place the form, keys, and gas card (if assigned) into the key drop box in front of the Jongeward building or at the front desk if during business hours.

The WorkSafe Institute of Washington has developed a course designed to provide drivers with the critical safe driving techniques necessary to reduce the rollover potential associated with 15-passenger vans. Central Washington University has adopted this training program as a requirement for all staff, faculty, and students who drive university 12-passenger vans.

The course outlines the differences between 12-passenger vans and standard passenger vehicles, load vs. no-load stability factors, issues of visual misperception, and useful tips and techniques for parking and navigation.

If you are a first time driver of a 12-passenger van, you must complete the course in person at the Motor Pool office. Come in anytime during normal business hours and listen to a 20 minute tutorial and then take the exam. Drivers are required to renew their certification every two years. Renewals may be achieved via the online test.  The online test is only for drivers who have been previously certified. Contact the office at (509) 963-3259 to request a link to take the online quiz. 

Washington State requires all 12-passenger van certified drivers to complete the Van Safety Statement which includes a Valid License to Drive and Driving Experience Statement and a Safe Driving Practices Acknowledgment Statement. Theses form must be renewed every two years and need to be filled out completely and returned to the Motor Pool office before initial operation of the van. A copy of the signed form will be maintained on file in the Motor Pool office and a copy will be provided to the driver if so desired. If you are a first-time user, these statement forms will be given to each driver at the time of the tutorial. If you are renewing your certification print a copy of the Van Safety Statement to complete. These forms may be dropped off at the Motor Pool office, scanned and emailed (call for email address), or sent to MS 7523.
