The Arrupe Center for Community Service and Social Responsibility (CSSR) has four passenger vans available for reservation for service and/or social responsibility projects and events. Each van can seat seven individuals including the driver. 

The Arrupe Center reserves the right to revoke van use privileges for a group/organization for a semester or a time determined appropriate for the sake of other users’ comfort and safety.

Priority in Usage of Vehicles by Marquette Community

Priority for vehicle reservation is used to ensure that the intent of the vehicles is followed to maximize availability and usage for service projects. While van reservation is first-come, first-serve it is balanced with the need to ensure that no one group/organization monopolizes use that may hinder others’ usage for travel to/from a local service project site. 

Priority List for Service Focused Uses:

1. 1. Arrupe Center for Community Service and Social Responsibility.
   2. Service Student Organizations traveling to/from a local service site.
   3. Student Organizations and Greek Chapters traveling to/from a local service site.
   4. Groups of students not associated with a student organization traveling to/from a local service life.
   5. Staff/Faculty traveling to/from a local service site.

Usage of Vehicles

All Wisconsin driving laws, regulations and local ordinances must be observed at all times. Community Service Vans are for travel within Milwaukee County only. Exceptions may be honored on a case-by-case basis; please contact us with any questions about this policy.

Only those authorized through the Arrupe Center can drive the vans.  

Driver Authorization Process:

1. To request driver authorization, please submit the Driver Authorization Form. (If you are licensed out of state, you will recieve a second email to complete. Please check your spam folder). Allow at least 2 weeks to process background check to complete authorization.
2. Once the Driver Authorization has been approved, you will recieve online training modules via email from Fleet Defense Alert Driving, which must be completed with a passing score.

Refer to Risk Management’s Accident Policy and Procedures. A copy is kept in each vehicle. Authorized drivers must familiarize themselves with the instructions to respond appropriately to various accident scenarios.  All accidents MUST be reported promptly (see report form in vehicle). Any unreported accident/vehicle damage may result in the group/organization/department’s loss of privileges to use the CSSR Vans. As always, call 9-1-1 in cases of emergency and follow-up as appropriate and able.

For vehicle needs/concerns that do not hinder safe travel, report to the Arrupe Center, AMU 137 following trip. If assistance is needed during trip due to functional concerns impeding safe travel, call the Arrupe Center at (414) 288-7205. during business day or MUPD 288-6800 after hours.

It is vital that vehicle needs, concerns or accidents are reported and that trash be cleaned-up immediately after use. For example, a liquid container left under a seat runs the risk of leaking into the wiring of the vehicle. Both garbage left in a vehicle and vehicle needs left unreported can hinder usage by the next group/organization.
