Saferide

The Parking and Transportation Office operates MIT's safety shuttle van, known as Saferide. Saferide provides a safe means of transportation at night within and around the MIT campus. This is a free service and is available to all members of the MIT community.

The Saferide vans are driven by service assistant employees of Standard Parking, who carry two-way radios for a direct link to the Saferide Office and the MIT Police.

Saferide operates seven days a week from:
6pm to 2:30am Sunday through Wednesday
6pm to 3:30am Thursday through Saturday

The Saferide manager can be reached at 617-253-2997 during the above hours.

In addition, the MIT Police will accommodate requests for after-hour safety rides until daylight. Contact the MIT Police by calling 617-253-1212.

Please note that inclement weather, van maintenance and heavy traffic conditions may affect the times listed on the schedules.

The Saferide service has designated a handicapped-accessible van for each route. These vans are available on-call to anyone who requires this service during the scheduled hours.
