That is, students pay a fee to gain access to the service. Under usual circumstances, students who are clients of the state vocational rehabilitation agency are able to have the agency pay the cost of the service. If you are not eligible for DVR funding, other arrangements can be made such as third party funding or self-pay. These concerns should be addressed with the Administrative Services Coordinator. The Transportation Service is also a certified Medical Assistance non-emergency provider.
Every effort is made to involve riders in the operation of the service.
For example, over time, many students with disabilities have served in various capacities including Drivers, Dispatcher, Rider Representative, Rider Relations, ATC-External Operations, and Transportation Coordinator. Rider input is sought both formally and informally. The primary goal of the service is to provide safe, efficient, and courteous service. As a result, services are provided on both a schedule and demand basis. Just as the State of Wisconsin requires that all students who meet certain requirements live in University-owned and operated residence halls for the first two years on campus, the transportation service requires students to choose one of two transportation options.
