University of Iowa Campus Safety is rolling out several updates to its Nite Ride service in an effort to decrease wait times and expand safety services on campus.
According to a news release from UI Police, Nite Ride has hired a full-time security officer to supplement the student security officers who normally operate the vehicle. The position was made possible by funding raised through the sales of alcohol at Hawkeye athletic events.
Campus Safety is also partnering with student organizations interested in supporting Nite Ride by allowing them to “adopt a weekend” to drive for the service and earn money for their organization.
Nite Ride has also expanded its coverage areas to include the GuideLink Center on Southgate Avenue, which provides immediate care for adults facing emotional, mental health, or substance abuse challenges. Those who want to use Nite Ride to get to GuideLink will be required to be accompanied by a friend or family member to provide extra support.
