Primary Driver

The Primary Driver is the individual who will receive system notifications, such as violation notices, for a specific vehicle.

Why is there a Primary Driver? The Primary Driver designation ensures that the correct person receives important communications about the vehicle. A nightly script assigns a Primary Driver to any vehicle added to the system. If there is no Primary Driver when an appeal is submitted, the person submitting the appeal will automatically be set as the Primary Driver.
