The Greenbrier Day Report Center provides van transportation to Greenbrier County clients who do not have a driver's license and who do not have any other means of transportation to and from the GDRC. Being sentenced to the GDRC does not guarantee that transportation will be provided. Riding the van is a privilege that will be taken away if the client violates any of the transportation program's rules. Eligibility for transportation will be advised at the time the GDRC contract is signed.

Eligibility to ride the van may change during the client's time at the GDRC. Therefore, the client is to advise the staff immediately of any change in their status that may affect their eligibility to ride the van.

Eligibility Criteria to Ride Van

• A license to operate a motor vehicle has been suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
• There is no other means of transportation to and from the GDRC.

Daily Call-in Requirements

The van will not automatically run every day. Clients will not be picked up if they do not call the GDRC to advise for the need of a ride. Do not depend on another client to call for the van and expect to catch it based upon reliance that another client has made the call for a ride. Clients must call the GDRC by the times listed below, depending on their schedule:

• Morning schedule: Will be provided at In-take
• Evening schedule: Will be provided at In-take

Calling for a van ride and then not showing up is a minor violation and will be written up as such. If, after calling, the client fails to show up for a ride on two occasions, privileges to ride the van will be revoked; the client will be required to find their own way to the GDRC.

Van Route and Pick-up Schedule

• The van will travel a set route based upon the location of GDRC clients who are authorized to ride the van.
• The van will travel on main roads only and will stop only at designated pick-up sites. This may require some clients to be on the van for 1½ to 3 hours during the trip to and from the GDRC.
• The van will run each day the GDRC is open and will make three (3) trips per day:

• Pick-up schedules and locations for the van route will be updated as needed to reflect changes due to clients entering and exiting the GDRC program. Clients will be notified whenever changes are made in the schedule. The van will wait at a designated pick-up site for no more than five (5) minutes before continuing to the next location.
• If, for whatever reason, the van does not run on a particular day, clients are responsible for getting thier own transportation to the GDRC on that day. You will be notified whenever the van will not be making pick-ups.

Rules of Conduct While Riding the Van

• Alcoholic beverages and controlled substances are not permitted on the van. Clients will not be permitted on the van if they have alcohol or a controlled substance in their possession.
• Clients will not be permitted on the van if the driver is of the opinion that the client is under the influence of alcohol. Clients will also be denied permission to ride the van if the driver smells alcohol on them.
• Clients will not be permitted on the van if their behavior and actions indicate they are under the influence of a controlled substance. A controlled substance is a substance as defined and listed in Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 60A of the West Virginia Code (60A-1; 60A-2-1 et seq), as amended.
• Clients will not be permitted to ride the van if they are combative or verbally abusive to the driver or another passenger.
• Clients will be removed from the van if they interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the operation of the van in any manner.
• Clients are not permitted to eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco while riding in the van.

The van driver is authorized to stop and remove any passenger(s) who, in the driver's opinion, is causing a disturbance which interferes with the safe operation of the van. A violation of any of the van rules of conduct will result in being permanently prohibited from riding the van and will be written up as a major violation.

Van Transportation Fee

A transportation fee of one dollar ($1.00) per day will be assessed to all clients who ride the van. This fee is subject to modification at any time. Clients will be notified of any changes to the fee. If not paid or there is a cumulative total of 10 days worth of unpaid fees, privileges to ride the van will be suspended until after payments are brought up-to-date.
