Transport Services

The Transport Motor Pool offers a choice of sedans or station wagons for use by University staff. Use of vehicles is restricted to official University business. Most vehicles are fitted with GPS navigation. Brisbane UBDs are available from the front desk upon request.

Transport Motor Pool users must not use vehicles for any private travel other than when a vehicle is taken home for the sole purpose of commencing a business journey from the employee's home early the next morning.  Similarly, where a business journey ceases in the evening after business hours and the vehicle is returned to the car pool early the next morning.  Other than this 'incidental' private use, car pool bookings will only be accepted where the use is 100% business travel.
