Accessible Transit Van

Yale Transit provides accessible transit transportation to members of the Yale community who are permanently or temporarily disabled. Once on campus, this service provides a secondary option for transporting individuals from one campus location to another. This service does not provide transportation from outside the university and is not designed to provide transportation to and from individual home addresses.

To participate in this program, community members must complete an application and provide medical documentation. The program will run from July 1st through June 30th of each year

For all applicants with an approved “permanent” need for this service, will be required to complete a renewal application (without medical documentation) each year.

Enrollment in this program is only for use by the approved applicant. University ID will be required. Misuse may result in suspension from the program.

Renewal applications are required each year and will end on each June 30th.
