The George Washington University Escort Service -- a fleet of escort vans -- is designed to enhance safety and peace of mind for members of the GW community when they must walk alone after dark and are not near a Colonial Express shuttle bus stop. In addition, one of the Escort Vans is equipped to provide access for persons using a wheelchair.
Let the University Police Department get you home safe & sound with the Colonial Express Shuttle bus and the Escort Service. Please call 994-RIDE with any questions about this UPD Service.
To Obtain an Escort
Call 994-RIDE and give your name, current location, and destination to the UPD dispatcher. Be sure to wait inside the lobby of your building while watching for the Escort Van to arrive, and have your GWorld card ready to show the driver. If you are in a wheelchair, please notify the dispatcher when you call to request a ride so the correct van is sent.
Escort Service Guidelines
- UPD Escort Vans are in service from 7pm to 6am. During all other hours, escorts are provided by UPD officers on foot or in patrol cars.
- The Escort Service will not pick-up and/or drop-off to any off-campus locations that are not designated as valid pick-up/drop-off points.
- Escorts will be provided from on-campus to on-campus, on-campus to off-campus, and off-campus to on-campus locations. Escorts will not be provided from one off-campus to another off-campus location.
- It is not necessary to call the Escort Service in advance. During periods of heavy requests there may be a delay in the arrival time. You will be told if you should expect a delay. An accurate time estimate cannot be provided, but we can give you an idea of how many people are in line ahead of you.
- Passengers of the Escort Service are required to wear a seatbelt for the duration of their escort. DC law requires that all passengers use seatbelts, therefore drivers cannot provide escorts to individuals who refuse to comply with the law.
- Requests for escorts to bars will be denied.
