Tucson Adult Entertainment: Safe ride leading to a safer University of Arizona campus
Both girls admitted to using the service at least once a week.
Others used it to get home from study groups, the library or just to get to the grocery store.
Freshmen Darius Ross and Jarius Walker were taking a trip to Safeway to buy some food. Neither have a car on campus.
“It’s usually just a like a 10-minute wait or less, ours was like seven minutes today,” said Walker.
Safe Ride drivers are out on the roads from 6:30 p.m.-1 a.m., Sunday to Thursday, and until 9:30 p.m. Friday.
Wozny said they usually had 7-10 shuttles out on the roads on any given night.
The program started about 30 years ago as a walking escort service, then turned to wheels when local car dealer Jim Click donated a car. Now they get their cars at government auctions.
