Safe Ride to Campus

You always have a way back to campus. If you are stuck in the city without any money or a ride home, you can call a cab and have it take you to American University’s Public Safety. Notify Public Safety that you are on your way by calling 202.885.2527. Public Safety will pay for your cab and place the charge on your student account. This ensures that you always have a way back to campus.
