14. Vehicle Collision Review Committee (VCRC) Comprised of representatives from campus or medical center stakeholders to review collisions resulting in property damage or personal injury using established guidelines.

15. Vehicle Collision Review Committee VCRC Mission The mission of the UC Location Vehicle Collision Review Committee (VCRC) is to review all collisions involving drivers operating any vehicle on University business, thereby creating a means to monitor collision frequency and trends and to assist in the development of programs to promote safety, mitigate risk and reduce liability for the University of California.

You can submit inquiries, add or delete drivers electronically. Turnaround time to receive driver records for inquiries and adds is overnight. For more information, see the attached EEPN Overview.
