Plus, community members say CCST contact tracing notifications lack details and guidance

Officials added three off-campus stops to the SafeRide program in response to recent student advocacy.

Student Association Vice President Kate Carpenter announced the expansion, which includes 2400 M Apartments, The Flats at Dupont Circle and the Lincoln Memorial, at Monday’s SA Senate meeting.

Destiny Jackson, the director of transportation and logistics, said the new locations could increase ridership on GW’s free, late-night transportation service for students on the Foggy Bottom Campus.

Jackson said the addition of new locations will increase ride wait times by a few minutes due to a nationwide shortage of drivers. She said to prevent delays for other riders, students should not cancel their rides at the last minute.
