Transportation Policy

The Bonner Center for Service and Learning (Bonner CSL) wants to ensure that students are able to get to their service sites. They will provide a rental car for eligible students to travel to their service sites. You must leave 2 weeks for your request to be processed. Another preferred option is to take an LCT bus to your site. Also, the student may register with CityWheels, a car-sharing program. If none of the above options are available to you, the student may use his/her own car for travel to a service site. The student will be reimbursed $0.14 per mile for this option, and is required to submit a mileage reimbursement log.

If you are a new driver, you must be certified to drive in Ohio. If your driver’s license is from another state,this certification consists of a brief written test as well as a background-check.

If you are a returning driver making a new request, you must submit a new background check for insurance purposes each academic year in order to rent a car through the BCSL.

The full transportation policy is available as a downloadable MS Word document from the menu on the right. If after reading this policy, you find that you are eligible for BCSL sponsored transportation, please also see the menu on the right for other necessary forms (rental agreement form, request for transportation and mileage reimbursement log).

If you have any questions, please contact Beth Blissman or Vicki Yacobozzi at the Bonner Center for Service and Learning at (440) 775-8055.
