If you ever find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, UARK Transit Services offers a program called Safe Ride. The mission of the Safe Ride program is to provide students with a safe means of transportation from any uncomfortable or inconvenient situation.
Safe Ride should be seen as a “Plan B” when other transportation options have failed or an unexpected situation arises. Several reasons to use Safe Ride include:
- An uncomfortable date
- Keys are locked in the car
- Stranded at an undesirable location
- Car trouble
- Too tired to drive home
- Need a sober ride home
- Need a ride from a distant parking lot
- Do not wish to walk home in the dark
- Accidentally left by your ride home
- A safe alternative for any situation or circumstance
When you need a ride, call 479-575-SAFE (7233). A dispatcher will ask for information such as your location, your student ID number, and your destination. The dispatcher will provide an estimated time for the arrival of your ride. The van will then transport you to your residence. You are allowed to have up to three (3) guests with you on the ride. If you have special needs and require a wheelchair accessible vehicle, please notify the dispatcher.
