Program Coordinator: Joy Joseph-McConnell, Department of Public Safety (818) 677-3224


In order to comply with the CSU requirement to verify the California driving records of all State employees authorized to drive on State business, California State University Northridge has implemented the Department of Motor Vehicles' Employer Pull Notice Program (EPN). This program promotes driver safety by monitoring the driving records of its employees who are required to drive a state vehicle, electric cart or their personal vehicle on State business. The program is administered by the Department of Public Safety under the direction of the Chief of Police.

ENROLLMENT FORM/APPLICATION TO OPERATE STATE VEHICLE & DMV RECORD RELEASE

Who administers the University's DMV Employer Pull Notice Program?
The program is administered by the Department of Public Safety under the direction of the Chief of Police. The DMV Pull Notice Program Coordinator is Joy Joseph-McConnell.
Who is responsible for the program within each department on campus?
In order to facilitate the process campus-wide, each department/division/college designates an individual who will work with the DMV Pull Notice coordinator to organize and assist with the enrollment of their respective employees. This individual is responsible for notifying the DMV Pull Notice coordinator of any new employees required to enroll or when enrolled employees separate from the university.
Who is required to enroll in the program?
It is a CSU mandated requirement that all State employees authorized to drive on state business, whether by using a state vehicle, personal vehicle or electric cart be enrolled in the program. The University's Vehicle Usage Policy requires that employees who operate a University vehicle must have a valid California Driver License and a Defensive Driver Certificate. "Employee" is defined as CSU faculty, staff, student assistant or work-study student who is in a state-funded, auxiliary, or enterprise-funded active pay status at the time they are driving a University vehicle. A person working on a volunteer basis (Job Class Code 0050), which includes adjunct faculty, is considered to be an employee for the purpose of this policy (as per Office of the Chancellor publication Use of University and Private Vehicles Policies and Regulations, March 2002). For purposes of this program, employees who drive on state business three or more times a month are required to enroll. However, a director, dean, manager, etc. may elect to enroll their respective employees regardless of how frequently they drive.
How is information about my driving record retrieved?
Driving records are sent to the coordinator by the DMV when an employee is initially enrolled in the program and on an annual basis from the date of enrollment. Records are subsequently sent to the coordinator when there is negative driving activity. For example, upon enrollment into the program, a driving record will be forwarded to the coordinator. If there is a ticket issued to the driver, for a seatbelt violation, for example, then another record is sent.
What is the process of enrolling in the program?
The employees must first complete the university's enrollment form, which is supplied to the designated department coordinator.
Is my driving record information kept confidential?
Yes. The driving records supplied by the DMV are sent directly to the DMV Pull Notice Coordinator and are only reviewed by the coordinator and the Chief of Police. If there is negative activity on the record that warrants review, it is discussed directly with the director, dean or manager of the employee only- information is not shared with the coordinator of the department.
