Transportation

HAVOC Car

The college generously provides HAVOC and the COOP with a vehicle to use for transportation to and from various projects and sites. Below are the procedures to go through in order to be certified to drive the car.

Procedures
  • If you're certified to drive a college Jitney (11 passenger van), you may drive the car.
  • If you're certified to drive a SHINE van, you may drive the car.
  • If you are not yet certified to drive any campus vehicle, you will need to take a copy of your license to Irene Cornish in the Business Office (Spencer House) so she can run a Motor Vehicle Registration check (MVR). You're fine as long as you've had your license at least two years with no moving violations. You can also e-mail a copy of your license to Irene at icornish@hamilton.edu. The MVR takes a few days to go through, then Irene will add you to the list of certified drivers.

The HAVOC car is reserved through the COOP, via Lisa Nassimos. If you'd like to reserve the car, click on the link below to see if the car is available.  If so, e-mail lnassimo@hamilton.edu to let her know the day/time. She sends a list to Campus Safety to let them know who has requested the car.

The Jitney

The college also has several 11 passenger vans, which you can use to transport larger numbers of volunteers. Instructions for certification and reservation are below.

Procedures for Certification
  • E-mail Brian Hansen at Spencer House (bhansen@hamilton.edu) to find out when the next scheduled training class will take place.
  • Have an MVR background check done - contact Irene Cornish (icornish@hamilton.edu).
  • Take a driving safety test
Procedures for Reservation
  • E-mail Theresa Gallagher (tgallagh@hamilton.edu) at Student Activities to request a Jitney
  • If your certification is up to date and the Jitney is available at the requested time, you will receive email confirmation of your reservation
