ABOUT THE CCE SERVICE SHUTTLE The Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) coordinates shuttle service to provide regular transportation for students volunteering throughout the semester in the Greater Richmond community. Daily routes and schedules for the two 11- passenger vans are created at the beginning of each semester based on community partners needs, student requests, and availability. Seats on the shuttle are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The shuttle serves more than twenty-five partner sites and about 100 students a week. For these reasons, seats on the shuttle cannot be guaranteed for all CCE volunteers. Follow the steps below to maximize your chances of riding the shuttle. For more information about riding the CCE service shuttle, including departure location on the UR campus, read the CCE SERVICE SHUTTLE GUIDELINES on pgs. 11-12. PLEASE NOTE: Before riding the CCE service shuttle, you must complete the Informed Consent and Emergency Contact Form in BannerWeb. For more instructions on completing the form, see our help page. You must register for the CCE Service Shuttle by Friday, 12:00 noon, of the week before you intend to start riding the shuttle. The last day for students to register for the shuttle in fall 2010 is Wednesday, September 15 th at 11:00pm. Students asking to be added to the shuttle or moved to a different shuttle slot after this date may be asked to fill out a CCE Service Shuttle Petition. The CCE Service Shuttle will leave without you if you are not there within five minutes of the scheduled campus departure time. Be on time for return pick-up at the service site. If you are late meeting the shuttle at your pick-up site three times, you may be dropped from the shuttle schedule. Remember, lateness affects other riders, making them late to classes, jobs, and meetings. CCE Service Shuttle (Last updated 10/1/2010) 2

CCE SERVICE SHUTTLE GUIDELINES The Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) operates two 11-passenger vans to enable students to get to and from off-campus service opportunities in a timely, reliable, and safe manner. In order for the shuttle services to be timely and reliable, we follow our daily schedule of departures/return pick-ups as closely as possible. Punctuality: Be on time for departure from campus. The shuttle will leave without you if you are not there within five minutes of the scheduled campus departure time. Be on time for return pick-up at the service site. If you are late meeting the shuttle at your pick-up site three times, you may be dropped from the shuttle schedule. Tardiness affects the schedule of other riders, making them late to classes, jobs, and meetings. The van driver will do everything reasonable to ensure on-time operations. Consistency: The CCE shuttles operate on a three-strikes-and-you re-out policy. Students who are late three times to the shuttle upon pickup from the service site may be barred from riding the shuttle for the rest of the semester. Students who miss three weeks (consecutive or non-consecutive) of service at their organization may be asked to stop service at that organization for the rest of the semester. Ride the shuttle only on your designated days and times. Drivers can t accommodate riders who show up unexpected and unannounced. Although there may be enough room on the shuttle to take you out to your service organization, there may not be enough room on the shuttle on the return trip. Notification: Contact Debbie Collins at to register for the shuttle and to communicate schedule changes. If you can t reach Debbie, contact Dick Moschler or Bob Mullin at 804-873-4664, Dave Cosby at 804-787-3893, or Warren Farrar at 804-938-5007. All four drivers have a cell on board. If a few minutes late (>5 minutes) for pick-up, call the van driver s cell ASAP. Unexpected Events Happen to All of Us: Riders: please notify Debbie Collins (804-484-1630) as soon as you are aware of an event preventing you from riding the shuttle as scheduled. Van driver will communicate via cell with Debbie Collins in the CCE in the event of traffic delays. Debbie Collins will share this information with waiting riders. Departures and Return Drop-offs: Meet the van at the bottom of the steps in the parking lot behind the Commons building (between the Commons and the smoke stack). The van schedule will not allow for unscheduled stops. Riders must return to campus on the shuttle unless they have previously notified the driver that they will be using alternative return transportation. CCE Service Shuttle (Last updated 10/1/2010) 11
Safety: Safe van operation is a primary concern drivers will not speed in order to meet schedules. Be aware that traffic flow and accidents may affect timeliness. Use of seat belts is mandatory. Riders must stay seated until van comes to a complete stop. No Service: Inclement weather: The CCE will decide whether to make runs in inclement weather and Debbie Collins will notify students of the decision via cell/e-mail. As a general rule, CCE vans will follow the Richmond Public Schools guidelines for inclement weather. Van breakdown or driver illness cell/e-mail notification Executive decision cell/e-mail notification Exam Periods no off-campus services that create study distractions University Officially Closed typically weather or emergency conditions University Holidays All involved with this service must realize that we represent the University of Richmond when going off-campus, and we must strive to conduct ourselves courteously and professionally. Each of us must be responsible by being punctual and giving timely notice of schedule changes. CCE Service Shuttle (Last updated 10/1/2010) 12
