Safe Ride Program
Concept
In accordance with the Case Western Reserve
University commitment to sustaining campus
safety, the CWRU Department of Police and
Security has implemented the Safe Ride program.
Safe Ride will provide transportation across
campus, as well as University Circle, between the
hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. daily. Anyone with a
valid CWRU ID can use this service and will be
transported in a specially marked security van within the destination boundaries noted
on the service map (refer to Figure 1.0). Additionally, Safe Ride can provide a liftequipped vehicle for anyone that may need these specific transportation requirements.
The CWRU Safe Ride program uses a computerized dispatch tool to improve pick-up
and drop-off efficiency. The user can now schedule rides automatically without having
to wait for an available dispatcher to setup the transportation run. Previous trip routes
are saved and the last route travelled will auto-populate each time a new ride is
requested. The Safe Ride system also allows the user to track the driver’s status and
location.
The Safe Ride system can be accessed from the internet and by smartphone at the
following URL: saferide.case.edu. Users can also schedule a ride request or speak
directly with a dispatcher by dialing the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) at
216.368.3000.
Usage Notes: The Safe Ride system is to be used by individuals who possess a valid
CWRU ID and will only provide transportation within the designated service
boundaries (Figure 1.0). Once a ride is scheduled, the user is expected to remain at
the pickup point until the driver has arrived. If the user makes alternate arrangements
and no longer requires a ride, then the direct line to dispatch should be used to cancel
the request: 216.368.3000. Repeated "no shows" (without calling to cancel) will slow
down the system for everyone and could possibly result in the suspension of Safe
Ride privileges.
