University Visitors and Students Several options are available for travel around the campus area. -Duke operates a free bus system, called Duke Transit, within campuses and for some remote parking lots. -SAFERides supplements Duke’s regular bus service and provides an alternative to walking alone or in isolated areas of campus. 684-SAFE or SafeRides provides Duke employees and students with no cost on-demand van service to campus areas, and certain off campus areas, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day. http://aux03.auxserv.duke.edu/parking/transportation/transportation.htm -Charlenes offers service to the airport and surrounding areas. http://www.charlenesaferide.com/rates.html Transportation from the airport to campus or any Durham hotel is generally $30. The information is basic information about the SAFERides service. This service is a campus based service and they may require a valid Duke identification. • If you are on campus, check to see if Transit Service is available at the time you need to travel. • SAFERides reserves the right to refuse service to anyone not in possession of current and valid Duke identification. • If Duke Transit service is in operation within one block of the requested pick up location, individuals may be directed to use the bus service. • Vans can wait only two minutes for a rider. If the rider misses the van they must call again and will be placed on the log as a new request. • SAFERides reserves the right to refuse transportation to students or groups of students who exhibit disruptive or intoxicated behavior. Duke Police will be contacted if passengers become disruptive or appear not in control of their faculties. • Requests for service with two or more passengers will be handled on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the time, weather, origin and destination. Unless there is a specific safety concern, requests for service involving two or more passengers are given a lower priority than call from an individual. • SAFERides strives to provide a ten-minute response time. However, events on campus, increased by campus traffic, prior requests for service, weather, and other circumstances beyond our control may increase response time. Dispatchers will provide their best estimate for pick up times. Callbacks to inform riders of when the van is en route to pick them up can be provided upon request. • For the safety of the passengers and drivers, SAFERides service may be reduced or suspended during severe weather. • SAFERides does not provide emergency or medical transportation. • Group requests to off-campus destinations may be directed to use Charlene’s Taxi on Points Services (309-7233). |
