In an effort to prioritize pedestrian safety and reduce traffic impediments, passenger and rideshare pickups on campus should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Avoid stopping in fire lanes, crosswalks, driveways, parking lot entrances or any other areas that can block traffic.
• Drivers should always remain alert to pedestrian activity and other vehicles, especially in high-traffic areas during class changes. 
• Drivers should use hazard lights when stopped for pickup and never leave their vehicle unattended in active lanes. 
• Passengers should be ready at the curb to minimize wait times. 

Following these best practices ensures a safer, smoother experience for everyone on campus.

Further information regarding designated rideshare and passenger pick up/drop off locations on campus will be coming soon!
