There are 8 members of our staff all attending the same conference in Austin, Tx. May we rent a 12 or 15 passenger van so that we can all drive to this meeting together?

NO. In April 2001 the UTSA police department reviewed the Consumer Advisory from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and determined that the 15-passenger vans lacked safety features that are found in mini-vans and school buses. Based on this information it has been determined that the use of the existing 15-passenger University owned vans be restricted to the immediate campus area only, and the only exception would be for fueling or repair. This ruling also applies to 12-passenger vans as well and rentals are also prohibited.
