Safe Ride is a peer operated service provided by the Associated Students of the University of Â鶹ƵµÀ Western (ASÂ鶹ƵµÀ). Safe Ride is FREE to all Â鶹ƵµÀ students with a valid student ID. Sponsored by ASÂ鶹ƵµÀ, Safe Ride has the full support of Â鶹ƵµÀ, local law enforcement, local dining/drinking establishments and the Beaverhead County DUI Task Force.
Drivers are trained in Basic First Aid and have taken the Traffic Safety course through Â鶹ƵµÀ Facilities Services. Safe Ride drivers operate in teams of two. One team member does the driving while the other keeps an eye on the road and the passengers. All drivers and passengers are required to buckle up and follow current traffic laws and Â鶹ƵµÀ Policies.
The use of drugs and tobacco products is prohibited in the Safe Ride vehicle. Drivers are allowed to take passengers to residential addresses, eating establishments, grocery stores, and to campus. Safe Ride utilizes university-owned transportation. The Â鶹ƵµÀ motor pool offers a variety of clean, well-maintained vehicles. University employees and non-Â鶹ƵµÀ students are prohibited from using the Safe Ride services
Safe Ride is not just for students who have been drinking. Our priority is the safety of our students. Our program and drivers work closely with the greater campus community to ensure the safety and well-being of our students
