Temporary Scooter Loans

USDA Employees with temporary mobility issues may borrow a scooter for up to two months with a doctor’s note. Without a note, scooter loans are limited to four weeks. Scooters are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and will only be given to employees with a signed Scooter Policy. Please fax your scooter policy to 202-720-2681 and we will gladly bring a scooter to you!

All TARGET scooters are for temporary use only. Please feel free to contact TARGET when experiencing any trouble with a loaned scooter. TARGET will be glad to troubleshoot and arrange for repair of all loaned scooters. In the event that a TARGET loaned scooter breaks down, every effort will be made to provide a substitute scooter while the original is being repaired. If a replacement is not available, TARGET can provide a list of pay-for-rental scooter services.

The TARGET Center does not sell, assemble, or repair personal scooters. This includes scooters obtained as part of a reasonable accommodation. TARGET will be glad to provide scooter users with a list of repair service companies on request.

Other Temporary Issues

USDA employees do not need to have a permanent disability to take advantage of the large inventory of assistive technology in the center. For example, an employee with the use of only one hand due to an injury may borrow a one-handed keyboard during the recovery process. Most loans are limited to two-weeks. Please contact TARGET for more information.
