Who's Who: Who to Go to If You've Been Sexually Assaulted

Safe & Free Transportation
The University of Minnesota offers two options so that you don't have to walk home alone. The first is a walking or biking service which allows students to call the number to request a security monitor to take them anywhere within a specific boundary from the U. This boundary can be found on their website. The second is the Gopher Chauffeur which is a free ride service that provides rides on Monday-Saturday night. They will pick you up from many of the surrounding neighborhoods to campus, and will drop you off as far away as Uptown.
