Safety Resources

Did you know that Yale’s nighttime shuttle operates until 1:00am? Yale also has Nighttime Safe Rides which can take you door-to-door within campus borders until 6:00am. A security officer can also walk you to and from any point on campus. Yale takes your security seriously and invests in public safety.
