SafeWalk / SafeRide
Walking and Riding Safety Escort Program
*****Starting March 17th 2024 service will be unavailable during Spring Break. SafeWalk / SafeRide will resume on Saturday, March 23rd*****
To promote a safe and secure campus environment, the UW-Eau Claire Police Department, in partnership with Housing and Residence Life, is offering a walking and riding safety escort program for all UW-Eau Claire students, faculty and staff.
The SafeRide / SafeWalk program was developed by students for all Blugolds. The program is staffed with students, who are known as Campus Safety Officers (CSO). They are identifiable by their CSO yellow traffic vests.
- A valid Blugold ID Card must be presented at the time of the service
- All escorts must either begin or end at a campus building or on campus property
Times of Operation:
The SafeWalk / SafeRide service will operate 7 days a week from 8:30 p.m. - 1:30 a.m. while classes are in session.
