Safe Ride is a peer operated service provided by the Associated Students of the University of Montana Western (AS91¿´Æ¬).  Safe Ride is FREE to all 91¿´Æ¬ students with a valid student ID.  Sponsored by AS91¿´Æ¬, Safe Ride has the full support of 91¿´Æ¬, 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 91¿´Æ¬ 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 91¿´Æ¬ 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 91¿´Æ¬ motor pool offers a variety of clean, well-maintained vehicles. University employees and non-91¿´Æ¬ 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. Working together, we can help keep our community and Bulldogs safe on the road!
