The police department provides a courtesy ride service to anyone on the SMU campus.  To obtain a courtesy ride call 768-3388 day or night.  During the evening hours, the "Giddy-Up" golf carts will usually provide this service as long as student drivers are on duty.  However, the SMU Police are available when Giddy-Up student drivers are not available.  The courtesy ride service is restricted to the SMU main campus only.  Please remember the Giddy-Up is a courtesy service which is staffed solely by student employees of the Police Department. 

SMU Officers will respond to offer the service when they are not working higher priority police related matters.  Police officers are not taxi drivers to be summoned for your convenience to get to class on bad weather days or when you just don't feel like walking.  If you have a legitimate security concern, are injured, or ill, let the Communications Officer know immediately so that a police officer may be dispatched more expeditiously to come to your aid.  Priority police activity may delay some escort response times.  As long as you are in a safe location, stay there and wait for the courtesy ride to arrive.  The wait may be longer than normal during peak hours. However, you will be picked up within a reasonable time.
