Defensive Driver Training
The CSU Vehicle Use Policy requires that State employees (including student employees) complete Defensive Driver Training every four years in order to drive a State, rental, or privately-owned vehicle on State business. In an effort to meet the needs of the Campus, the Vehicle Reservations Office is offering Defensive Driver Training each week.
Employees can confirm the date of their last training by inquiring at vehicles@csuchico.edu . Responses will typically be by return e-mail on the next business day.
Please have your California Driver License number and expiration date, and CSU, Chico employee/student ID number available at the time of the class.
Location and time varies by session. To view the availability of sessions, location, and to register, log into the Web Based Training (WBT) system at https://ehstraining.csuchico.edu click on the Course Catalog menu — the workshops are posted under the EH&S tab.

State Travel Commercial Car Rental Contract
State employees are reminded of the current Commercial Car Rental contract negotiated by the Department of General Services (DGS). Only the car rental agencies under contract with the State are authorized for State travel.
They are:
• ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR (Primary)
• Alamo Rent a Car (Secondary)
• National Car Rental (Secondary)
In the event Enterprise does not have an appropriate vehicle available, or does not represent a location, Alamo and National are permitted as secondary options. The ONLY authorized forms of payment for State car rentals are the American Express Government Card or the CRBTA (Car Rental Business Travel Account). See pages 29-31 of the online Travel Manual for details regarding use of the CRBTA and how to reserve a vehicle. Only State funds can be used to rent a vehicle using the CRBTA.
These approved forms of payment, combined with the use of the State rental car contract, achieve the protections afforded in the Master Contract program (LDW/CDW/Liability included). The use of personal credit cards or cash is expressly prohibited and void the terms of the contract.
State employees must submit a Travel Request to Travel Accounting (zip 140) PRIOR to departure. Visit the Travel Accounting Web site for all State travel forms. Reservations must be made by the traveler or their designee. Travel Accounting does not reserve vehicles.
