Transportation

The Transportation Department provides and maintains in a safe and first class manner a modern fleet of vans and automobiles available for use by students, faculty, and staff to carry out their educational and administrative goals. These University vehicles are for University-related activities and local travel only. The maximum radius is 100 miles without additional approval.

In order to be able to drive one of the Western New England University vehicles, the following procedures must be completed.

1. Becoming a certified driver: You must go to the Public Safety website, enter your information and successfully complete the DDC training. After completion, be sure to retain the certificate for your records.
