Transportation

Student volunteers are strongly encouraged to use public transportation or carpooling when possible. If neither of these options is available and a student does not have a car, the Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning maintains two minivans to assist students in getting to approved community service projects.

Procedure

Take your license to the Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning so a copy can be made and kept on record. Fill out a waiver form for insurance purposes and complete a reservation request form at least two weeks before needing the van. If you have a set volunteer schedule, you can reserve a van for the appropriate days and times for the duration of the semester. The vans are available on a first come first served basis. Although we will do our best to accommodate your volunteer schedule, transportation can not be guaranteed.

Guidelines
All van drivers are required to follow these guidelines:

• Replace the gas you've used.
• Remove all trash and personal belongings before leaving the van.
• Make sure the van is parked in a legal/authorized parking space at all times.
• Record mileage on the Van Mileage Log kept on a clipboard by the driver's seat.
• Return the key to the Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning within 24 hours of using the van.
• Report any mechanical or other problems with the vehicle to the Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning director.

The Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning reserves the right to limit or deny a student or club's future access to the van if the above guidelines are not followed. The Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning may cancel the use of the van if we think driving may be dangerous. Always use your discretion as to whether or not you feel comfortable driving.

Directions
If you are unsure of the location of a community agency, stop by the Center for Volunteerism and Service-Learning. We can have the agency fax us directions. If you prefer, go to Mapblast or MapQuest and enter the address to view a map of the location.

Drive Carefully.
