Safety Escort Services

NightRide (www.uwshuttles.com) is a U-PASS sponsored shuttle service for students, faculty and staff. Passengers can board the NightRide from any one of six on-campus stops and be dropped off at any requested location within the two shuttle zones. Schedules are prominently displayed at all stops, and schedules are available at information kiosks around campus as well as online. Wheelchair-accessible shuttles service both zones. Call 206.685.3146 or visit www.uwshuttles.com for more information about this and other UW shuttle services. Note that NightRide is not available during the summer.

University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC) Department of Public Safety provides escorts for hospital employees and volunteers from the UWMC main lobby entrance to university campus parking lots. This is a free service provided by escort drivers M-F, 5pm to 1:30am. For other days and times, an escort will be provided by a Public Safety officer (unless unavailable due to a hospital emergency). To arrange for an escort, contact UWMC Public Safety at 206.598.5555 and let them know when you will be ready to depart from the above location. For more information, call the UWMC Public Safety Office at 206.598.4909.

Husky NightWalk also provides escorts. The hours of operation for these uniformed security guards are 6:00 pm-2:00 am during the school year and 7:00 pm-3:00 am during the summer, 7 days week. In addition, they are equipped to help people, with proper identification, who cannot get into their offices, work areas or vehicles. They also can assist with jumpstarts for dead batteries. When members from the campus community need help, call 206.685.WALK (9255).
