SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD 

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance. 

  • Always be alert when traveling to, from, and around campus – especially at night. 
  • When walking at night, try to stay in well-lit areas. The UO provides an online map to help students navigate by the best-lit route around campus. The map also shows the approximately 60 emergency phones (e-phone or call boxes) that are located across campus. 
  • When possible, carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed. 
  • Download the UO Mobile App for easy access to safety resources, safe ride options, and maps. 
  • Duck Rides is the primary nighttime transportation services for students, staff and faculty at the UO. The service is free and peer-to-peer, with students driving students. It runs seven days a week, 6 p.m. to midnight. Call 541-346-7433 or email duckrides@uoregon.edu to make a reservation. 
  • UOPD is available to provide free on-campus escorts if you are unable to find another shuttle, ride, or taxi: 541-346-2919 and press 1. 
  • Communities are safest when members look out for each other: report any suspicious activity or unauthorized strangers immediately. 
  • Report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to UOPD at 541-346-2919, press 0.
