What Night Safety services does Berkeley offer?

UC Berkeley offers comprehensive free night safety services made up of Safewalk escort, night shuttle buses, and a door-to-door service. The time of day determines what services are available.

Safewalks are available from dusk to 3:00am (last call at 2:30am), night shuttles run on routes from 7:30pm to 3:00am and the door-to-door service is available from 3:00am until 5:30am.

About Dusk

Dusk is the darkest stage of twilight in the evening. That is when Safewalk will begin its service, though the clock time for this border between day and night will change, depending on the time of year.
