(b) All persons selected to be drivers in the vanpool program shall assume the following responsibilities:

(1) Each primary driver shall be responsible for the safe and prudent operation of the assigned vanpool in accordance with all applicable county resolutions, city ordinances and state laws pertaining to the operation of motor vehicles. Any fines or penalties arising from operation in an unlawful manner shall be the responsibility of the driver.

(A) interferes with the prompt pick-up and delivery of passengers in the vanpool;

(B) threatens the safety of vanpool passengers or any member of the general public; or

(C) habitually violates terms of contracts or rules and regulations and laws governing the vanpool program.

(2) Each primary driver shall be responsible for the collection of fares from passengers. Such fares shall be paid to the central motor pool by the sixth day of each month. Failure to remit those fares shall result in appropriate collection action.

(3) Each primary driver shall maintain accurate mileage and service logs for the vanpool. The mileage and service logs shall indicate beginning and ending mileage traveled in the course of normal vanpool operations, beginning and ending mileage accumulated in the course of personal use of the van and a current passenger list. A copy of the signed log, along with a list of all expenditures incurred and receipts for purchases or expenditures incurred shall be filed each month by the sixth day of the month with the central motor pool.

(c) Each person selected to be a primary or alternate driver in the vanpool program shall be eligible for reimbursement of any enrollment fee for a red cross multi-media first aid course, or the equivalent, and a national defensive driver course, or the equivalent. These fees shall be paid by the central motor pool on receipt of evidence of enrollment and successful completion of these courses. Leave with pay to attend the courses shall be allowed as authorized by K.A.R. 1-9-9.

(d) All persons selected as primary drivers in the vanpool program shall:

(1) be required to pay 25% of the individual passenger fare established for that van pool. When not functioning as primary driver for a period of more than one week, the full passenger fare shall be charged.

(2) have personal use of the van when it is not required for travel to the work place or return. However, the driver shall be required to pay for the personal use of the van at the prevailing vanpool mileage rate. Payment for such personal use shall be made on the sixth day of each month.
