Tram Services
Are you looking for an easier way to get around campus? DPS offers tram service to all qualified students in the program. You have access to trams that accommodate a variety of student needs, including vehicles with ramps that can transport wheelchairs.
Note: The trams have a load capacity limit of 950 pounds and the wheelchair ramp has a load capacity of 500 pounds, so most electric wheelchairs cannot be accommodated.
Your interest in receiving tram service for courses and student service support is important to the DPS Team. In order to provide timely access to this support, you will need to complete this form for each term you will need mobility support (Rancho Campus Only). We will need you to complete this form a minimum of 72 hours in advance so that a team member can be scheduled to be on campus when needed. Please do not hesitate to reach out to a DPS team member with any questions at DPS.Staff@chaffey.edu or 909-652-6379 (please leave a voicemail with your name and student ID number if call is not answered) IMPORTANT NOTE: Students requesting tram services must be current with the DPS department and be approved for tram services as an accommodation by a DPS (Disability Programs & Services) Counselor. If you are unsure if you have been approved for tram services please contact DPS.staff@chaffey.edu.
A student can self-identify for temporary services if they have a visible, currently treated injury, such as crutches, a boot, or a cast. While waiting for appropriate medical documentation to be submitted to DPS for application and intake, they may still receive temporary assistance. If you are unsure if you qualify, please call the DPS office at 909-652-6379.
However, if the student’s injury has not been fully diagnosed, they must first be cleared by EMS before receiving tram services. For example, what may appear to be a simple sprain could involve more serious injuries, like spine or neck damage, which could be worsened by a ride over uneven terrain. DPS will work closely with campus police in such situations to ensure student safety.
