If the field trip is considered mandatory for the course:

1. Brown should provide transportation (bus service or rental vehicles with authorized drivers)
2. It is not necessary to require students to sign a Release and Waiver form if the field trip is a requirement of the course.

If participation in the field trip is voluntary:

1. Students can arrange their own transportation (Consider RIPTA, which is free when you show your Brown ID)
2. Students should sign a Release and Waiver/Assumption of Risk form (available from the Office of the General Counsel).

In either case:

• Can Zip Car be used?
• Can Academy Bus be used?
• It is possible to rent a vehicle or 7 passenger van?
• safeDrive guidelines must be followed
• If an employee's personal vehicle is used, the vehicle owner’s personal auto insurance is primary in the event of an accident.
