 Transportation
CCSJ can help you arrange transportation to and from your service site. Loyola has a Motor Pool of vehicles for students to travel to their community service sites. If you would like to reserve vehicle(s), and you have been authorized and have requested vehicles before, please click here to submit an online vehicle request form. Otherwise, please read carefully the instruction below before proceeding with the request.
To use Loyola vehicles you must become an authorized driver prior to submitting vehicle requests. If you have more than 3 points on your driver’s license or outstanding tickets, you will not be approved. - You need to fill out a Driver Authorization form. You may download this form (pdf format) or you may also obtain the form directly from CCSJ office.
- Once you fill out the form, sign it and turn it in at the front desk of the Center for Community Service and Justice in Cohn Hall. When filling out the form please use your full name—no nicknames, please. We will also need to make a copy of your driver’s license to submit along with the form.
- Your insurance driving record will be cleared within 2-3 days. YOU WILL ONLY BE CONTACTED IF YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED. Otherwise within 3 days of handing in the form, you can consider yourself authorized and begin reserving automobiles.
- During the beginning of the semester, it may take longer for the insurance company to provide clearance. So, be sure to turn the form in during the first week of classes!
- You need to sign Driver Responsibility Agreement before you start driving Loyola vehicle. You may download this form (pdf format) and once you sign and date it, submit it via email.
Only after you have completed all of the above steps will you be allowed to submit a request to reserve a vehicle. - You must request a vehicle at least 10 days prior to the date in which you hope to use the vehicle.
- If you submit the request less than 10 days in advance, we cannot guarantee that a vehicle will be available. Especially, for van(s), less than 7 days reservation will not be approved.
- If you know that you are going to the same place at the same time every week for the whole semester, you may want to request the vehicle by providing all the dates except the holiday's dates.
- If your request has been approved, you will receive a confirmation notice forwarded from Malia Lien. If you have not heard anything 48 hours before your event, please contact Malia Lien to check on the status of your request.
- You must have a copy of your confirmation e-mail with you when you go to pick up your vehicle. Without the email, you will not be able to obtain the vehicle.
- You should arrive at least 10 minutes early to Motor Pool located on York Road (or wherever they have indicated you should pick up the vehicle on your confirmation form). If you will be late in picking up the vehicle, please call Motor pool (ext.1151)
- If you are half an hour late to pick up your vehicle, Motor Pool may reassign it to another party.
- Take the shuttle bus to the York Road parking lot and ask the driver to let you know where Motor Pool is located.
