Faculty/Staff Vehicle Pool

The Office of the Provost is pleased to offer the availability of both a Chevrolet Venture minivan and a Ford Taurus sedan for the purpose of transporting students to museums, conferences, presentations, performances and other events and experiences that complement classroom teaching. The acquisition of these vehicles address an initiative of Lewis University’s strategic plan, Vision 2006: Learning, Mission and Leadership, which calls for the provision of transportation to assist faculty integrate field experiences into course work that takes advantage of Chicago’s unique resources to enhance student learning.

The Chevy Venture minivan is a roomy passenger van that can seat seven individuals comfortably (including the driver). It is air-conditioned and has all the amenities one would expect in a modestly equipped family mini-van. The van is part of the Lewis University Enterprise fleet and is regularly serviced by University contractors. The driver of the van does not need any special training, but must be employed by Lewis University. The Ford Taurus sedan seats five individuals comfortably (including the driver). It is also air conditioned. This vehicle is part of the University’s fleet and is maintained regularly.

The driver of these vehicles, who must be an employee of the University (not a student), is covered by University insurance policies. Specific University guidelines for operating the vehicle and for the transportation of students must be adhered to. Gasoline is complimentary. Additional forms and information about reserving the vehicles can be found on this page.

Both vehicles can be reserved by calling Kathy Anderson at extension 5639.
