The Clark University Student Safety Escort Service (SSES) is a safety service intended to provide transportation to and from the Clark campus area by helping students explore the neighborhoods surrounding Clark in a safe and convenient manner. We work closely with University Police to ensure a safe ride for all!

Clark’s Safety Escort Service runs four vans from 4:00 p.m. – 4:00 a.m., 7 days/week during the academic year and it is staffed by over 50 Clark University students. We run over 50,000 calls per year for the entire Clark Community, including staff and faculty.

No orientation meetings will be held. Email us if you have questions.

How to Use Escort

  • Call the dispatch 1-508-793-7777.
  • Request where you’re coming from and where you’re going to, within the established boundaries.
  • Wait for an estimated time of arrival (ETA) from the dispatcher. The dispatcher will give you a van # to watch out for.
  • Wait in a place where you can see the blinking yellow strobe from the van (The van will have Clark University written on the doors as well as the van #).

Repeat for when you want to go home!
