Large passenger (LP) vans (vans with a rated capacity of 11 -15 persons) have come under scrutiny because of their increasing involvement in rollover crashes that often cause multiple fatalities and injuries. State Fleet Services has introduced a new policy regarding the use of Large Passenger vans. In conjunction with this new policy North Dakota State University has implemented a training program for all staff, faculty and students who will be driving LP vans.

Training for LP vans includes a web-based instructional program and a behind the wheel driving component. Both sessions must be completed to obtain certification. (Behind the wheel component may be waived with CDL licensing).

The web-based portion, to be completed prior to behind the wheel, takes approximately 20 minutes. You will be sent an Email with the information and link to complete this online portion. The behind the wheel testing will be done on campus starting at the Thorson Maintenance Center, this portion will take approximately 15 minutes.

All LP drivers must have completed both components of training prior to vehicle release.
