Equipment Checkout

UW transportation students may check out TransNow equipment for transportation related education and research projects at no cost. Equipment is available on a first-come-first-serve basis and TransNow can not guarantee equipment availibility. Prior approval from TransNow is required to check out equipment overnight. If TransNow equipment is unavailable, students can reserve items for free through UW Classroom Support Services: http://www.css.washington.edu/stfequipment.

Equipment Use Policy

Each student must sign an Equipment Use Policy indicating agreement to the following conditions:

  1. Save your work to your own disk. Do not save to any TransNow computers or laptops. Computers are periodically erased by TransNow staff.
  2. Do not modify the computers in any way. This includes installing or removing software, changing settings, accessing websites not relevant to your UW transportation studies, etc.
  3. TransNow computers and equipment are for academic and transportation related use only.
  4. Do not eat or drink around any TransNow equipment.
  5. Do not share the access codes or passwords with anyone.
  6. Return items by the agreed upon date and time or call the TransNow office to request other arrangements.

Failure to abide by the TransNow Equipment Use Policy will result in the loss of future check out privileges.

How do I check stuff out?

Equipment is available for check out weekdays from 8am to 4pm from the TransNow office located in More Hall 129. Students will be asked to fill out a checkout form which includes a brief description of the activity that the checked out equipment will support. Please be as accurate as possible when filling out the form. TransNow relies on this information to ensure funds are allocated appropriately to purchase future equipment and keep our software inventory up-to-date.
