Becoming a Bard Driver

Required Documentation

3) Read and agree to our “Rules of the Road” -The “Rules of the Road” document familiarizes you with Bard College specific rules of conduct. Our “Rules of the Road” will be updated periodically. As a Bard Driver, you will automatically be bound by the terms of the most current document.
5) Complete a Bard Transportation Driving Assessment -After you’ve provided us with the documents listed above, you will need to schedule and complete a 1-1/2 to 2 hour Driving assessment with us.

All documents, certifications, and evaluations are required by law and/or Bard College’s insurance companies to drive any Bard College vehicle (including, but not limited to, golf carts, ATVs, passenger cars, passenger vans, leased vehicles, trucks, and heavy equipment).
