Overview

Sponsored by Public Safety and operated by Transdev of Rhode Island, RISD Rides lets students, faculty, and staff request a ride from a RISD building to any location within its area of operation and vice versa. A wheelchair-accessible shuttle is available upon request.

RISD Rides drivers are professionally trained and licensed and undergo regular driving and criminal history records checks. For easy recognition, RISD Rides operates distinctly marked vans. Drivers wear Transdev uniforms as well as a photo badge that they must present to passengers upon request.

If you need a ride outside of the above hours of operation, or if you have a special requirement, please call Public Safety.
