The Associated Students of University of Nevada Campus Escort Service will be known as a premier student program by providing prompt, courteous, safety escorts to the students, faculty and staff of the University of Nevada, Reno.

Any student, faculty, staff, or visitor of the University of Nevada, Reno.
You may be parked in the Blue parking lot at the north end of campus and may not want to walk alone to your car after dark; you may have been studying at the library late at night and don't feel comfortable waiting at the bus stop until the next shuttle arrives; you may have a late night class and would feel better with a ride from the building to your residence or vehicle after class; your department or organization has had an evening event on campus and you would feel safer with a ride to your nearby home or vehicle.
You can reach the Campus Escort dispatcher by calling 742-6808 Sunday- Saturday (excluding summers and semester breaks) between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. We provide limited service on legal holidays. There are also free call buttons (yellow) on most University pay phones and the info button at all blue light locations will reach our dispatcher. If you are going to or from a residence give the exact address and apartment number, if necessary. During your call, please give the dispatcher your exact location and destination. The dispatcher will tell you how much time it will take for our escorts to get to you. This is your DELAY time. If you are waiting and your delay time passes without seeing an escort please call back. Our dispatchers do their very best at estimating a time of arrival but sometimes unforeseen situations delay the van dispatched to your call. Also, if you no longer need the escort, please, call and cancel your request.
Our dispatcher should give an approximate delay when you call. Due to unforeseeable circumstances, such as traffic and high demand, the exact time of arrival may vary. We will make every effort to be there within 5 minutes.
No, to ensure better timing you should call us 10 minutes before you need us. Our peak times are generally 7 p.m.-10 p.m. and your wait may be up to 30 minutes at this time, so keep that in mind.

Our ability to help is limited to battery jumps, flat tire changes, and providing a safe environment to wait for outside assistance.
