Passenger Van
Operator Guide Program

Passenger Van at Purdue

On April 9, 2001, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) issued a "Consumer Advisory" warning the users of passenger vans, that under certain load conditions, these vehicles have an increased risk of rollover, displaced center of gravity, and difficulty in handling while towing cargo.

With safety considerations in mind, Vice President of Physical Facilities, Wayne W. Kjonaas, and Vice President of Business Services and Assistant Treasurer, James. S. Almond, issued a policy regarding the operation of passenger vans (July 26, 2001).

The policy requires that operators be guided through an informative program to help reduce the potential for rollovers and other safety considerations.

This program consists of a narrated guide with live action scenarios. The program will take approximately 20-25 minutes to complete. At the end of the program, you will be told that a Passenger Van Agreement will appear. The Agreement will appear when you close out of the Operator Guide Program, and then click on the link below. Please print the document, sign it, and BRING IT WITH YOU when you pick up the van.

No 12- or 15-passenger van will be rented without completing the guide and signing the agreement.

Please click here to begin the Passenger Van Operator Guide Program. (May only be opened using Internet Explorer.)
