Parking and Transportation Services manages a fleet of leased vehicles on campus. Departments have the opportunity to lease new vehicles from the State of Michigan at low cost. All vehicles come with a dedicated fuel card and maintenance is included in the lease cost. Departments can pay for their monthly leases with a Standing IRB each fiscal year. Parking and Transportation Services works with departments to order vehicles that will best serve your needs  from compact cars to heavy-duty box trucks and work trucks  and oversees services, policies, leasing/renting and maintenance.
