A Program to Enhance Safety in our Campus Community!
The Night 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 NightRides 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:
- NightRides 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.
- NightRides 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
NightRides employees.
- NightRides employees or the police dispatcher reserve the right to refuse an escort to anyone based on the above guidelines.
NightRides is funded with CMU parking revenue from
permit sales and parking ticket fees.
