Policy Statement

SCOPE: WHO SHOULD KNOW THIS POLICY?

  • Any individual responsible for organizing or oversight of College events to which Food Trucks will be invited should know this policy.
  • Any individual associated with a Finance Center should know this policy.
  • Any supervisor of a sponsoring organization should know this policy.

POLICY STATEMENT

Approved college food vendors may use food trucks on campus (excluding public ways) to support college approved catering or concession events.

The sponsoring organization must obtain a permit for the food truck to park for the Food Truck Event, specifying date, starting and end times, with parking location assigned by the Director of Transportation Services or a designee. Permit approval may be established in consultation with the Associate Director of Facilities Operations, when truck parking is best located outside of a parking lot (courtyard, lawn or sidewalk) for participant safety reasons.
Food trucks must be Approved Food Providers, meaning they meet all the Food Provider Policy requirements, including providing Procurement Services with a current Foodservice License/Kitchen Inspection and a current compliant insurance certificate.
Please note if a food truck violates these provisions, their Approved Food Provider status will be removed for six months, and they will be asked to leave or removed from campus, immediately.
