Use of Personal Vehicles for Travel between Campuses
Temple University provides shuttle service between the Main Campus and the Temple Administrative Services Building at 2450 West Hunting Park Avenue. When the shuttle service is available, employees should use the service. Any employee who opts to drive his or her own vehicle when shuttle service is available does so for his or her own convenience and not for business necessity. Therefore, such personal use is not eligible for reimbursement under the University policy on Use of Personal Vehicles on University Business. Under such circumstances, the employee is not covered by University liability insurance in the event of an accident or incident resulting in third party injury or property damage.
Use of Personal Vehicles on University Business
When a personal vehicle is used for official University business, the driver is reimbursed at a stipulated rate per mile. This reimbursement factors in the cost for gas, oil, repairs, depreciation and insurance. In the event of an accident, the driver’s personal auto insurance covering the vehicle is always primary. The University's insurance may cover in excess of primary limits for liability/damages to a third party.
