Street Safety

When living off-campus, you take on greater responsibility for your personal safety. Make use of these resources, which are available for your security:

• Brown University Shuttle (BUS) at 863-2322 is a cooperative safety-oriented transportation service offered to the Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design communities; that is, the students, faculty, and staff of these institutions and of the hospitals affiliated with Brown Medical School.
• Brown Safewalk, at 863-1079, provides members of the Brown Community with a point-to-point walking escort.
• Brown on-call service at 863-1778 is available to all Brown community members without pre-registration for point-to-point transportation. 
• Based on an agreement between Brown University and RISD, students may ride on either school’s shuttle with proper Brown or RISD ID. Please view the RISD Rides page for routes and schedules.
