Dawg Ride

This on-demand safety transportation service allows students to safely traverse campus during the evening hours, especially when alone. Dawg Ride operates seven days a week from 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM during the academic year when classes are in session. University Police will perform safety escorts outside the Dawg Ride hours or if the Dawg Ride is unavailable.

Please note that if you request a ride outside the Dawg Ride hours of service, a driver will not be able to accept your ride request, but University Police may offer alternatives, including walking escorts, to ensure your safety.
