Allendale Van Service

The Student Accessibility Resources (SAR) van service is for students, faculty, and staff with short- and long-term disabilities that impact their mobility to and from academic spaces.

The SAR Van serves the Allendale Campus Monday - Thursday from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We use SimplyBook to schedule van rides.

You MUST be registered with SAR and have van accommodations on file to utilize our van service. If you have not already, please consider registering for Student Accessibility Resources Services.

If you are visually impaired or need extra assistance, please call our office at (616) 331-9540 OR the main Student Accessibility Resources office at (616) 331-2490 and asked to be transferred to the Student Accessibility Resources Van service
