The Student Access Van is a safe, accessible, and reliable on-campus transportation shuttle service that is offered through AccessAbility Services for students with temporary or permanent disabilities.
Eligibility for this service is based on documentation from a licensed health care practitioner. Documentation must clearly indicate a diagnosis of disability affecting mobility and be classified as temporary or permanent.
All temporary classifications must include a date range in which this service is required.
The Student Access Van picks up and drops off students across the Waterloo campus. The boundaries include:
AccessAbility Services hires University of Waterloo students as drivers who have had a police check and hold a valid G level, point free, Ontario driver’s license. Occasionally, drivers may provide assistance with loading or unloading passengers.
Pick-up times are on a half hour basis. Please book pick-ups to occur a half hour prior to the beginning of your class or appointment. If for any reason you require a change in your schedule, it is your responsibility to contact the Student Access Van driver at aas-sav@uwaterloo.ca.
To request this service, book an appointment with your AccessAbility Services Accommodation Consultant. Minimum notice to use the service is 1 business day and the average length of time to complete a request is 1 business day.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
