[humanser] Transportation when on-call?

[Michael Abell]

Hello,
	Another option would be to make a deal with a driver that would be
available for such emergencies. You could use them for everyday travel when
you do not use paratransit and keep their number for emergency travel.

Warmly,

Try uber or Lift.  They are cheaper than Taxis.

Hi everyone,

As part of the graduation requirement, my university requires all
residential students to complete community service hours each semester. I
absolutely agree wholeheartedly with this requirement, and I'm not here to
complain by any means. However, I have a quick question.

As I consider community service opportunities for the remainder of my time
in my Bachelors degree (1.5 years), one of my goals is to engage in more
human/social services volunteer work in preparation for pursuing my MSW. One
local volunteer opportunity that I am interested in participating in is with
the sexual assault response program. Volunteers with this program are
required to commit to 4 6-hour on-call shifts per month, outside normal
business hours. I have emailed the prospective supervisor to inquire about
whether my shifts could be split among evenings throughout the month until
9:00 P.M, when the last city bus could get me home from the ER (where I'd be
meeting with victims), or if I could be on-call on Saturdays.

Yes, I realize that I could choose other "more convenient" volunteer
opportunities, but I also recognize that this position would give me very
valuable experience. Moreover, I cannot possibly ask my friends (who have
families of their own) to commit to on-call shifts simply to transport me.
Taxi fares could get very expensive, depending on how many times per month I
was actually called in to help. As I await the supervisor's response, does
anyone have suggestions that I may not be considering? Also, for future
reference, how do you handle transportation for on-call shifts in a paid
employment situation?

Thanks as always for your time and assistance, and have a wonderful weekend!

 

Best wishes, Miranda
