Defensive Driving Program Overview

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, transportation incidents are the number one cause of fatal work injuries. The CSUSM Safe Driving Program was developed to reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities related to employees driving on University business.            

All state employees (faculty, staff, student assistants, and special consultants) and registered volunteers who drive on University business must complete defensive driver training and required documents.  

Auxiliary employees should consult with their employer to determine their specific driving requirements.

Only state employees/registered volunteers may drive University owned vehicles including powered carts.
