Hello Huskies,
As the days grow shorter and winter weather arrives, now is a good time to learn about options at the UW to help you get home safely at night — NightRide and Husky SafeTrip.
NightRide Shuttle
Students can board the NightRide from any one of eight on-campus stops and be dropped off at any requested location within the two shuttle zones on and near campus. Shuttles pick up passengers from 8 p.m. until around 1:30 a.m. Call 206-685-3146 or visit the UW Transportation website for more information about this and other UW shuttle services.
Husky SafeTrip
Use Husky SafeTrip (formerly known as Husky NightWalk) to get a safe ride home on or near campus with a UW Police Department security guard 6:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily (except University holidays or when campus operations are suspended). To request a ride from campus to a residence, parking lot or public transit stop within the service area, call 206-685-9255. The service was recently renamed because it’s no longer a walk.
However you’re getting home, hope you stay warm and take good care of yourself as the end of the quarter approaches!
Sincerely,
Denzil

If you’re on campus late and need a bite, UW Dining has you covered! Several spots in the Husky Den at the HUB are open until 7 p.m., and Center Table, Local Point and Pagliacci are open until 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Grab a burger at Dub Street, a coffee at Quench or some pancakes and bacon for late-night breakfast. Fuel your studies or just hang out with friends!
Emergency contact information
Be sure your UW emergency contact information is up-to-date! If your emergency contacts live abroad, please include a contact person in the United States, if possible. This contact person could be a relative, your host family or a friend. Update your info online (scroll down to the Emergency Contact section).
