Safe Rides
The Safe Rides program, brought to you by the CMU Police Dept., was designed to enhance campus safety. To use the service simply call 774-HELP (4357). Two student patrollers will arrive in the above vehicle to transport you to your campus destination (the flashing amber lights will be used to let you know they have arrived).
- Are you concerned about walking alone in the dark?
- CMU students now have access to FREE safety escorts, between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. during the fall and spring semesters.
- This service is designed to safely get students from one on campus location to another.
Purpose: The Safe Rides program is a service intended to provide escorts for persons who need an ESCORT for safety reasons and who are concerned about walking ALONE at night. The purpose of NightRides is not to simply provide transportation where personal safety is not an issue. To this end, the following guidelines have been established for the NightRides program:
- Safe Rides operates Sunday-Saturday, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. during the fall and spring semesters.
- This service is designed to safely get people from one on-campus location to another on-campus location.
- No escorts will be given from an on-campus location to any off-campus location or from any off-campus location to an on-campus location.
- Safe Ride employees are not permitted to overload the escort vehicle.
- Three or more persons traveling to the "same destination" DO NOT qualify for an escort, there is safety in numbers.
- Persons who are visibly intoxicated or disorderly will be refused an escort by the Safe Ride employees.
- Safe Ride employees or the police dispatcher reserve the right to refuse an escort to anyone based on the above guidelines.
