Fuel Card Responsibilities

Department Responsibilities

Departments who have identified the need to purchase fuel for vehicles owned by the University of Louisville must appoint a Vehicle Coordinator who will oversee the fuel card program within their department.

  1. Identifies need to purchase fuel for vehicles owned by the University of Louisville.

Vehicle Coordinator Responsibilities

  1. Ensure a timely monthly reconciliation of each card (comparing receipts with the weekly reports) assigned to your department.
  2. Maintain all receipts and weekly reports for three years.
  3. Complete the new card and/or new driver PIN request form(s) and send them via email to procard@louisville.edu. These forms are to be used to request additional and/or replacement cards and to create or delete PIN numbers. The vehicle coordinator will be required to sign for the card at the time of pickup.  If the vehicle coordinator cannot be present at the time of pickup, a request must be made in writing to the ProCard Office, procard@louisville.edu.
  4. Immediately cancel PIN numbers for drivers who no longer have a need to fuel a vehicle (i.e. termination/resignation, transfer to another department, change in job responsibilities, etc.)
