It's that time of year, and it's not unusual to see snow or ice part of the weather forecast. Staying safe means staying warm and being prepared.

Two University of Pittsburgh programs are designed to help transport students in non-emergency -- but uncomfortable -- situations: SafeRider and Walking Escort.  The SafeRider program is a complimentary shuttle service that allows riders to be picked up during certain hours and in certain areas. The Walking Escort service allows any student, faculty or staff member leaving the Hillman Library to be accompanied by a security guard to certain locations within walking distance or to a bus or shuttle stop.

The current version of the University of Pittsburgh's Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is now available and contains necessary resources, tools, and information for students, faculty, and staff to stay safe. The For Safety's Sake website and report provide campus and personal safety information, including crime prevention and fire safety information, crime reporting policies, and sexual misconduct and Title IX procedures. The report also contains crime statistics for the three previous calendar years.
