Food Truck Application Process

Food Trucks are allowed on campus under certain conditions. The following list of trucks already have contracts in place with the University, and can be used for your special event. These trucks should be given a strong priority when scheduling events with food trucks on campus.

University Contracted Food Trucks

If you will be using one of these food trucks for your event, submit the special event application (through Astra) to reserve the physical space and list the selected food truck where it asks about your food arrangements.

Benefits Of Using A University Contracted Food Truck

• Certificate of Insurance has already been verified
• Vendors know how to obtain sidewalk permits
• Providers are familiar with campus and know the policies including waste management, etc.
• Additional contract forms are not necessary

• Fill out the U of U Temporary Food Service Agreement with the outside food truck vendor, and they must read and abide by the Food Truck Policies.
