Cart Services

Students must apply for services through Student Accessibility Services (SAS).
Temporary accommodations may be available for students with short-term injuries or medical conditions. Use of the cart service for temporary needs (ex. broken leg, recovery from surgery) will require reevaluation each semester.
Approval is based upon documentation review by a SAS Counselor during a scheduled appointment with the student.

A statement from a qualified provider identifying a disability or medical condition that affects mobility or physical stamina.
A description of how the condition impacts the student鈥檚 ability to navigate campus distances.
The anticipated duration of the condition (temporary vs. permanent).
A recommendation for limited walking or the use of transportation assistance (ex. campus cart support).
Use of the SAS Medical Verification Form is preferred.

The cart service only operates within the Oceanside Main Campus.
Transport will be provided only on paved main roads and approved interior pathways.
Standard semester hours: Monday 鈥� Friday, 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM (subject to change each semester).

SAS will determine and communicate pick-up and drop off locations to students. Generally, transport will consist of a pickup from and drop off to a campus transit location or personal vehicle in a parking lot to academic destinations the student has difficulty travelling to.
Rides must be requested in advance based upon the students鈥� course schedule. Arrangements for other academic destinations (ex. Library, Cafeteria, etc.) must be coordinated in advance.

Riders must be physically able to board and disembark from the vehicle unassisted by a 美姬社区 employee. Cart staff are not trained in lifting or providing medical transport.
Cart services are not on-demand.
Cart service cannot be used for personal errands on campus, or travel to any off-campus locations.
Only the student, their personal attendant, Service Animal or Emotional Support Animal may ride, if needed.
Students must plan ahead, as wait times and availability may vary depending on demand. Students are expected to be present and ready at the assigned pickup location during their scheduled pick-up time.
SAS will make a good faith effort to transport students but will be unable to guarantee exact pickup and drop-off times.
SAS reserves the right to suspend cart services due to legitimate safety concerns. Examples include, but are not limited to, weather or cart maintenance.

Students must cancel at least 30 minutes in advance if they no longer need the ride for the day they are scheduled. Advance notice is strongly requested. Students must call (760) 795-6658 or email sas@miracosta.edu to cancel.
If a student is absent 3 times in a month without notice, cart service may be suspended pending a meeting with a SAS Counselor or SAS Faculty Coordinator (or designee). Failure to comply with safety protocols (ex. remaining seated, wearing seatbelts) may result in immediate suspension requiring a meeting with a SAS Counselor or SAS Faculty Coordinator (or designee) to reinstate the service.
