OCC Transport, Inc. operates two wheelchair lift-equipped vehicles. These specialized "Lift Buses" supplement the regular bus fleet to create a complete transportation system for the students of Binghamton University. All OCCT drivers are trained in the operation of the lift buses and are acquainted with the needs of their passengers.
The lift buses run fall and spring semesters, Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 11:00pm, when classes are in session. Consult the University academic calendar for the dates of available service. Other special arrangements, such as weekend charters, may be made by contacting the Office Coordinator.

All authorizations are then forwarded to the Lift Coordinator at OCC Transport.
