Collisions, Incidents and Fines

When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident on University of Alberta business, you must report it and comply with the Traffic Safety Act as well as University of Alberta policies and procedures.

You are responsible for reporting any damage to your UAlberta vehicle to University of Alberta Protective Services and Risk Management at the time the damage occurs.

If the damage exceeds $2,000 or if it was caused in a hit-and-run incident, you must report the damage to local police as well. For damage exceeding $2,000, local police may require you to provide an estimate to file a report.

If your UAlberta vehicle breaks down, call Transportation Services at (780) 492-1920.

For assistance outside of the opening hours, please call our Control Centre.

Traffic and parking violation tickets are your responsibility. If we receive a ticket, we will direct it to the signing authority of the rental vehicle.

Any and all parking charges (or fines) are your responsibility. If you have questions about where to park your UAlberta vehicle, please contact Parking Services.

If your UAlberta vehicle breaks down, Transportation Services will cover the towing charges. If you need to arrange a tow truck for any other reason, the UAlberta department that arranged your vehicle rental is responsible for the charges.
