SAFE (Safe Arrival For Everyone) Nighttime Services are the University's comprehensive late night transportation system, available to students, faculty, staff and university guests. The goal of SAFE is to promote personal and community safety through offering a safe means of nighttime transportation and educating the UW community on matters of nighttime safety. Students, faculty, staff and University guests are encouraged to use these services anytime they feel unsafe about traveling at night. Please visit our SAFEwalk and SAFEride Cab pages for details on our nighttime safety programs.
