Travel is any student organization event that involves carpooling as a form of transportation outside the city limits of Eau Claire. Orgs taking shared transportation (i.e. rented vans, personal vehicles, buses, airplanes, trains, etc.) is travel. Org events where all participants get to a destination while walking or driving on their own is not a travel event.
Because travel has unique inherent risks, processes are in place to help students reduce and better understand those risks. This webpage is an effort to streamline that process and make it easy to follow.
If you know that your group is going to travel or ride share at any point during the semester, it's best that your drivers begin the driver authorization process at least 4 weeks prior to the trip. Drivers must be authorized once per academic year.
