*****SafeRide / SafeWalk availability will begin with the Fall Semester. Dates of Service to be listed soon.*****
To promote a safe and secure campus environment, the UW-Eau Claire Police Department, in partnership with Housing and Residence Life, offers a safe ride or walk to or from a campus location for all UW-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff.
The SafeRide / SafeWalk program was developed by students for all Blugolds. The program is staffed with students, who are known as Campus Safety Officers (CSO). They are identifiable by their CSO yellow traffic vests.
- A State issued ID or Passport must be presented at the time of the service for all riders
- All escorts must either begin or end at a campus building or on campus property
Times of Operation:
The SafeWalk / SafeRide service will operate 7 days a week from 8:30 p.m. - 1:30 a.m. while classes are in session.
