Night Ride

The Night Ride is an evening van service that picks up students, faculty and staff on campus and delivers them to their destination in nearby neighborhoods. The service is provided nine months of the year (autumn through spring quarters) and is operated by a private vendor on contract to the University.

Participation continued to rise for the 1997-98 school year, thanks in part to an aggressive marketing campaign. More than 38,600 rides were taken on the Night Ride, an increase of 63 percent from the first year it was implemented and the average cost per rider had decreased 32 percent for the same period.
