Safe Rides

Safe Rides

Overview

Safe Ride’s goal is to help reduce DUI incidents and encourage safe transportation by providing students financial reimbursement for rideshare trips. Sac State students can request up to $40 cash back (until funds last) per semester for rides taken from rideshare services, taxis, and public transportation. The Safe Rides program also allows students to claim cash back for SMOG checks, and vehicle safety inspection fees. 

ASI is not liable for any incidents associated with the rides or services performed on your vehicle. Students are taking rides and using vehicle inspection services at their own risk. ASI does not guarantee reimbursements for all rides, SMOG checks or vehicle services. Requests must have proper documentation and will only be reimbursed until the max amount of allotted funds per semester is reached. If you have any questionsplease reach out to us.
