Night Safety Transit | Student Center | SIU

    WELCOME TO THE SIU NIGHT SAFETY TRANSIT PAGE

Night Safety Transit service is provided by Saluki Express and the Student Center. It provides a safe means of transportation for SIU students both on and off campus. 

You can request a ride by downloading the TransLoc Mobile app or call for a ride at 618/715-0770.  

Night Safety Transit now offered during summer semester.

During University Breaks (Holidays, Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break & Spring Break) and Summer Semester, and inclement weather, Night Safety Transit is closed. 

See below for the Night Safety Transit ridership boundaries: 

We stop accepting calls 15 minutes before closing.  

Rides are dispatched to locations based on the order they are received. You cannot call ahead for a ride and must be ready for pickup when the driver arrives. The driver will wait a maximum of 3 minutes. Two no-shows will result in being banned from the service for the semester.

After a call is received the average wait for a ride is 15 – 25 minutes depending upon weather conditions and the number of incoming calls.

For further information, please call 618/536-3351, or call Night Safety Transit at 618/715-0770 during evening hours.
