Safe Ride

Your free ride home — no questions asked.
Safe Ride is a student-run transportation service, funded by the Student Government Association (SGA), that provides free, safe, and reliable rides for Washington College students throughout Chestertown and campus. Whether you’re out with friends, need a lift from the library, or just want to avoid walking alone at night — Safe Ride is here for you.

How It Works

Student drivers operate 12-passenger vans.
- Non-student drivers are sometimes hired for special events.
Rides are limited to destinations within Chestertown.

You call and let us know where you are, how many are in your party and where you'd like to go.
We give you an estimated time for pickup.
We pick you up, someone in your party provides their student ID to document the trip, and we take you where you need to go.

Service is first come, first served, so be patient during peak hours.
Your safety is our priority — disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.
