Safe NiteRide is a map for students that combines three bus routes into one. The purpose of this map is to provide a safe shuttle program to Illinois State University students, faculty and staff around campus and other locations. To easily distinguish the Safe NiteRide map from other shuttle services the map is predominantly black to emphasize that it is only available for use at night. Throughout the map are numbered circles that clearly label main bus stops and correspond to specific pickup times.
