Botany Vehicles



***Botany vehicle policy is subject to change! Please see the Botany Dept Office to sign the Vehicle Use Policy before signing out for a vehicle.***

The Botany Department recently invested in two 4WD vehicles for official use by employees (including teaching and research assistants). Reservations for department vehicles open every month and the sign-up folders are located in the Botany main office. When you first sign up to reserve a vehicle, be sure to leave a copy of your driver’s license for the department’s records. Also, leave your cell phone number as your emergency contact number. You are responsible for picking up the keys from office assistants or secretary during working hours before your trip and for returning them promptly for the next user.

Before returning the vehicle, clean it and refill the gas tank and fill out the vehicle mileage log and trip checklist. On Oahu, gas is available at UH Transportation Services, 2027 East-West Road and will be invoiced to the department. If you are driving the vehicle for department teaching purposes and buy gas off-campus, keep your receipt and submit it to Kori or Diane for reimbursement.

If you notice anything not working, please alert Diane so that she may get it repaired. *These vehicles are expensive to maintain, so please take care of them and report any problems ASAP. Also, if you don’t know how to drive in 4WD, make sure to ask for help before leaving on your trip. A damaged ego is easier to repair than a damaged SUV! *Don’t forget to keep the phone number for the office on hand, just in case of emergencies: 956-8369.
