The UMFS-1 form replaces the MFOMS-1 Operators Report and must be completed monthly for each University-owned sedan, station wagon, and LTV beginning July 1, 1992. Forms are to be submitted to the UMB Fleet Manager by the 10th of the next month; departments should retain a copy of each form submitted. View the Mileage and Maintenance Form here.

How to Complete the UMFS-1 Form

2. Enter vehicle make and model (i.e., Ford Taurus) and year.

3. Enter institution (i.e., University of Maryland, Baltimore).

4. Enter the report month and year (i.e., July 2015 or 7/2015).

5. Record the starting odometer reading, which should be the same as the previous month's ending odometer reading.

6. Enter the assigned driver's name and commute zone only for vehicles that have been assigned to a specific driver who is authorized to commute.
