Medical Transportation Assistance Policy  
 
The college has a limited number of golf carts available to assist students with chronic mobility issues which limit their ability to travel on foot.  Given limited golf cart access for temporary injuries which impact mobility, students who are temporarily injured are asked to first contact the Health Center to discuss the following medical transport options: 
1. Your name can be placed on the Office of Campus Safety’s (OSS) Medical Transport list which enables you to call the dispatcher a half hour prior to needed transports.  
2. You may be eligible for a temporary north campus parking permit to enable you to have ready access to a car for medical or physical therapy appointments.  
3. You may be recommended for use of one of the two golf carts, if available. Golf cart guidelines require day time use, single passenger restrictions and return to OSS on Wednesday and weekend nights.  
4. Knox Area Transit (KAT) is available between the hours of 6 AM to 7 PM Mondays through Friday and 6 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays. They can be reached at kat@co.knox.oh.us or by calling (740) 392-7433. 
5. The college owns a lift equipped van which can be scheduled by submitting a van transportation request form available on the SASS website (provide link).  These arrangements are made for the entire semester for students who use a large automatic wheelchair. Transportation using the lift equipped van on a campus is limited to the Gambier area. 

Please contact the Office of Accessibility and Support Services at (740) 427-5453 for additional information regarding transportation and mobility assistance.
