Students, faculty, and staff who have mobility impairments, temporary or permanent, may be eligible to use the FSU Accessible Van.  Priority will be given to those individuals with permanent mobility impairments, but every effort will be made to accommodate those with temporary impairments.

 

Potential riders must complete an application (which can be obtained at the Student Disability Resource Center, 108 Student Services Building) and provide documentation that supports the use of van transportation.  The accessible van is available M-F from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

 

The van is only for on-campus transportation. Transportation to and from campus is the sole responsibility of the rider.
