Get students home safe. Every night.

Free, on-demand electric shuttle for students during evening and overnight hours. Reduces drunk driving, improves campus safety.

How It Works
Benefits

The highest-impact safety program on campus

Reduce DUI Incidents

A free, judgment-free ride home removes the decision to drive impaired. Safe ride programs directly reduce DUI incidents and the liability exposure that comes with them.

Campus Safety

Every ride is tracked in real time with GPS. Campus police have dashboard visibility into all active rides. Every trip is logged with timestamps, locations, and rider information for full accountability.

Student Satisfaction

Safe ride consistently ranks among the highest-rated student services on campuses where it operates. Students talk about it, share it, and rely on it. It becomes part of campus culture.

No CDL Required

Low-speed electric vehicles operate under 25 mph and do not require CDL-licensed drivers. This expands your hiring pool dramatically and keeps driver labor costs within reach of most university budgets.

How It Works

Simple for students. Accountable for you.

01

Student requests a ride

After dark, students open the app, log in with their .edu email, and set a pickup and dropoff within the campus service zone.

02

Nearest shuttle dispatched

The system assigns the closest available driver and routes them to the student's pickup location automatically.

03

Track and board

The student tracks the shuttle in real time as it approaches. The driver confirms pickup and begins the route to the dropoff.

04

Safe arrival. Full record.

The ride is logged with pickup time, dropoff time, locations, and driver. Available in the dashboard for campus police and program administrators.
