About Safe Rides

The Safe Rides service is available to anyone as an alternative to walking alone or in a small group at night. Rides are in clearly marked security vehicles, and escorts on-foot are by Aggie Host Security Officers.

All Safe Rides drivers have valid California driver's licenses, and are trained Aggie Host Security personnel who have been background checked, fingerprinted, and are in compliance with the California DMV pull system. Each Safe Rides employee has completed the Safe Driver Awareness course, administered by UC Davis Learning and Development instructors.

Your safety is our primary concern!
