Download the NYU Safe Ride app from the App Store or Google Play Store and follow the simple signup steps.

Choose your pickup and dropoff addresses from the dropdown menu, then choose the ride that works for you by tapping Book This Ride. Be sure to tap the Wheelchair icon if you need a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle!

Check the app to find out exactly where to meet the vehicle, which may be a short walk from the address you gave us.

1. Confirm that Safe Ride is in service. Safe Ride operates seven days a week from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. during the Fall and Spring semesters.
2. Confirm that your request meets the geographic requirements. Rides must start and end at designated NYU facilities.

Wait times can vary depending on several conditions. We recommend always checking the NYU Safe Ride app to see the most accurate proposed wait times.

Pick-ups or drop-offs will always be nearby (in front of the requested address, the nearest corner, or at a designated on-campus location). However, note that due to road access and safety concerns, some pick-ups may be a short distance away. Please check the NYU Safe Ride app for your exact pick-up location and walking instructions to this location. If you have trouble locating your vehicle you can call your driver by clicking the phone icon within the app.

If you know you can't make your ride, please let us know so that we can give another passenger a ride in your place. You can easily cancel your ride through the NYU Safe Ride app by clicking on the “cancel ride” button at the bottom of the app.

• NYU Safe Ride does not call you when your car arrives. The app will send you a notification when your vehicle is two minutes away, and a text when the vehicle is at the pick-up location. Please be outside or within visual range of the pick-up location at the estimated time of your pickup.
  
  
• Safe Ride drivers will be provided with NYU Safe Ride branded magnets to display, and you should confirm the vehicle type and plate number in the Via app and ask the driver partner to confirm your name before entering the vehicle. If you don't see your car and the app is indicating your vehicle is at the pick-up, you can call the driver partner directly to coordinate. Due to high demand, as well as Safe Ride being shared with other students, we cannot keep other passengers waiting - your driver will only wait for two minutes before reporting you as a no-show.

You can call your driver directly through the NYU Safe Ride app to coordinate your pick-up.

No, it will not be canceled. You just won't be able to receive notifications when your ride arrives, so you'll have to be ready and waiting near your pick-up.

Depending on the time you need transportation, one of NYU's shuttle buses may be running. Check the schedules on our website or on the Passio Go! website to find out.

Yes. The Brooklyn Overnight Shuttle has been discontinued and Safe Ride expanded to Brooklyn. Community members wishing to go between NYU facilities in Brooklyn and Manhattan can now use Safe Ride to complete their trips.

Yes. If you just lost the item, be sure to make a note of your car plate number and/or driver's name. Contact Via Support using the Help Center in the NYU Safe Ride app. If the driver found your item, Via Support will help coordinate it's return.

Via will charge $100 to cover the cost of cleaning/repairing the vehicle.
