Getting Started

The Access & Accommodation Services Transportation Program was established in August of 2006 to assist students with disabilities in getting to and from classes. Students who need this accommodation are encouraged complete the Access & Accommodation Services registration process. Applicants are expected to familiarize themselves with the AAS Transportation Program’s operating procedure prior to submitting their transportation request.

Please note, transportation requests are not guaranteed but evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Transportation Program Eligibility

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, disability alone does not qualify a person for transportation services. The AAS Transportation Program is available to the following general groups of persons with disabilities:

- - Arkansas State University students who have a specific disability, impairment, and/or condition that prevents them from fully engaging in a major life activity (i.e., walking), to/from academic buildings.
  - Arkansas State University students who need a wheelchair accessible golf cart to/from academic buildings due to physical constraints.
  - Arkansas State University students for whom no other equitable accommodation can be made to/from academic buildings (i.e., ADA accessible parking).

Please note, transportation requests are not guaranteed but evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Carts and Operating Hours

AAS currently operates one standard and two wheelchair accessible golf carts (all seating 1-4 passengers) in peak service.

We aim to operate services as advertised, but there may be occasions when transportation takes longer than expected. Services may need to be diverted and/or canceled due to factors beyond our control, including but not limited to:

- - Traffic congestion
  - Traffic accidents
  - Road work and/or closures
  - Major campus or city events
  - Adverse weather conditions
  - Other unforeseen operating circumstances

How to Apply
