Welcome College 9 families!
Updates
We wanted to share with families that UCSC has decided to bring back our SafeRide program. The nightly van service on our residential campus was stopped in 2020 shortly after the start of the pandemic. The revamped program will be managed by TAPS. Students can go online, fill out a ride request, and a van will shuttle them anywhere on campus from 7:00 p.m. to 12:15 a.m., seven days a week when classes are in session during fall, winter and spring quarters. There may be exceptions for holidays and finals week.
Please see the SafeRide website for the ride request form and more information.
