What is SAFE RIDE?
SAFE RIDE is ODU's on-demand evening van service providing free rides to all Monarchs after dark. With SAFE RIDE, students, faculty, or staff can ride to a nearby residence instead of walking home alone. Riders must use the Transloc app to request a ride and present a valid ODU ID upon pickup.
COVID-19 UPDATE TO SERVICE
Traveling with more than one person? Each person in your group must request a ride individually. Due to space constraints on the SAFE RIDE vans caused by COVID-19, we cannot guarantee that members of a group will be on the same van.
How To Request a Ride
Account Setup: First, download the FREE Transloc App to your device (Apple or Android). The first time you use the app, Transloc will ask you for some basic information. After your first ride, Transloc will recognize your phone.
