Northwestern Safe Ride, developed by Via Transportation Inc., is a free rideshare program available exclusively for Northwestern University students. This partnership between Northwestern University and Via aims to provide safe transportation options for students during evening and night hours in the Evanston area.

The Safe Ride service operates similarly to other rideshare platforms, allowing users to request rides from their desired pickup and dropoff locations. Students can choose the ride option that best suits their needs, all within the convenience of the Safe Ride app.

For students who already have a Via account, the Safe Ride app offers the same familiar and reliable service. Simply download the app and log in using your net ID and password.
