RULES FOR USE OF VILLAGE COURTESY CART

Transportation via the Courtesy Cart is provided by the Village as a convenience to those residents and guests who are physically disabled by reason of age, injury or disability.

· Persons requiring transportation via the courtesy cart should telephone Village Security at (631) 583-5572 in advance of their desired use time to request the services of the courtesy cart and confirm availability. Transport will be made in order of request and in such manner as the driver may deem most efficient.

· As a rule, only persons who are physically disabled by reason of age, injury or infirmity are eligible for transport on the courtesy cart. However, when necessary, a household member who is not physically disabled, but whose assistance is required by a disabled passenger, may be permitted to accompany the disabled individual, at the discretion of the driver.

· Transport will be provided only to or from the rider’s home and the village ferry dock, or between the rider’s home and the Village doctor’s office for medical appointments or emergencies. No other stops or destinations are permitted.

· Security has been directed to refuse to transport any person if the request is for an improper or disallowed use, or if, in the opinion of the driver, the person requesting transport appears to be in good health and not physically in need of transportation, or for any violation of these rules.

· Security may, in the interests of good order and at the sole discretion of the Chief or officer in charge, elect to provide transportation to an individual about whom a question as to his or her eligibility has arisen, but in such case Security shall inform the individual that future requests may be denied unless the person provides proof of need of such transport.

· Drivers or others involved in courtesy cart operation may not accept any gratuity for their work.

· The Village reserves the right to modify or change any courtesy cart rules or transport conditions at any time.

The Village thanks you for your understanding and cooperation in making sure that the use of the courtesy cart is reserved for those who need its services, and that it is operated in a manner that will benefit the entire Saltaire community.
