    1. We require them to participate in an online training each year (we use a company called Learning, Training, and Development Platform - Niche Academy. Utah based company. It's mostly a defensive driving and distracted driving training.  
    2. Every other year we do an onsite training with our URMA representative. 
    3. Public works does do a bad weather/snowplow training yearly onsite.
    4. We pull motor vehicle record reports quarterly. We store DL info within BambooHR. 
    5. We are also currently looking at a variety of dashcam and driver tracking platforms for implementation (Verizon Connect, Enterprise, Fleetio).

    We have our employees sign a vehicle use agreement, which the employee agrees to our vehicle use policy and they will familiarize themselves with the policy and comply with the policy. They also agree to a regular check of their driving record. 

    Each department is required to handle the training for drivers. Each training is different, but I know we have a backing/driving with trailers training, and I'm not totally sure on others. 

    We also do the DPS monitoring. It pulls monthly and gives us an update. We notify employees if there are any issues. Most common is that their license or medical card has expired and they just need to renew it.

    Good afternoon colleagues, 

    I am working on updating our practices for managing risk (Thanks Draper City for the presentation last week) of city employees who may drive city or personal vehicles as part of their jobs. Here are my questions:

    1. Do you have employees sign a specific policy acknowledgement about driving as an employee? 

    2. What training do you require of your drivers?

    3. Do you do any kind of driver history/ licensing monitoring of your current employees? If so, do you inform your employees? 

    Currently, we don't have a specific driver acknowledgement policy. We do monitor driver's licenses through the DPS site (https://secure.utah.gov/dhr/monitoring/), but I have to manually add them to our list. I was informed today that Risk Management thought that HR stored DL, and HR thought that was the job of the Risk Manager. So, we are sorting it out and updating our processes . ;)

    Thanks in advance!
