All District drivers must have a valid California driver’s license.

As part of the Facilities Office’s and the College’s Risk Management program, those employees who utilize Palomar College fleet vehicles for business related travel or are required to drive them as part of their job function must have their driver’s license verified on an annual basis.

The continuation of this program is both a safety measure and a means for minimizing College liability for the unlawful operation of its vehicles.  Please note that no employee and/or volunteer shall operate a Palomar College fleet vehicle without having a driver’s license verification check.  An employee’s use of a College fleet vehicle must be within the scope of his/her employment and must be for official College use only.  Personal use is not permitted.

Having a valid license of the proper class is a condition of employment if required for an employee’s job classification and job description.

The employee is responsible for the cost of the CDL; however the employee’s department reimburses him/her for these costs.
