The highest-impact safety program on campus
Campus police integration
Real-time ride visibility in the dashboard for campus security. Every ride logged with timestamps, locations, and rider information.
Geofenced service areas
Service zones are defined and enforced in the platform. Vehicles stay within approved campus boundaries. Easily adjusted as the service area expands.
Ridership reporting for admin
Weekly and monthly ridership summaries for student affairs, campus police, and administration. Exportable data for grant reporting and program reviews.
Student fee and grant funding
Programs are designed to fit university funding structures. Slidr helps structure the budget around student activity fees, parking revenue, and available transportation grants.
No CDL required
Low-speed electric vehicles operate under 25 mph and do not require CDL-licensed drivers. This expands your hiring pool significantly and keeps driver labor costs manageable.
Run by Slidr, or alongside your team
Fully managed from night one
Slidr designs the service area, procures vehicles, hires and trains drivers, and manages nightly operations. One contract covers everything: vehicles, staff, technology, insurance, and reporting. Your campus safety office stays informed without managing the program. Already have vehicles and drivers? Slidr can run the program on them instead.
Low-speed EVs. No CDL needed.
Safe ride programs run on low-speed electric vehicles that do not require CDL drivers. This dramatically expands the driver hiring pool and reduces labor costs. Vehicles are wrapped with your university branding and operate within the campus service zone.
Drivers students can trust
Every driver is background-checked, trained on campus geography, and held to conduct standards your campus police can rely on. Late-night operation requires drivers who represent the university well, we hire and manage for it.
Custom technology. Your campus brand.

Students log in with their .edu email, set a pickup and dropoff, and request a ride. Real-time tracking shows the shuttle approaching. No cash, no account required beyond a university email.
