Para-transit Service

Effective March 23, 2009, the Para-transit Service has been revised to better serve your para-transit needs.

The university's para-transit service offers scheduled pick-ups to all faculty, staff, and students with certified para-transit needs. If you have a permanent or temporary mobility concern, this is the service for you.  Para-transit vans are equipped with a wheelchair lift and will make pickups at any campus location accessible by vehicle.

Paratransit service is provided to faculty, staff and students who are registered with Disabilities Support Services (DSS).  To register, passengers must contact DSS to schedule an appointment with a Disabilities Specialist and complete an Intake Assessment and Para-transit Service Application. Once registered, DSS will issue a Para-transit Access Card. The passenger is required to display this card to the Para-transit driver upon boarding the vehicle.
