UW-River Falls Students
Taxi Service is provided at no charge with the presentation of a valid UW-River Falls Student I.D. Free service provides round-trip transportation to:

Safe Ride Home Program

The Safe Ride Program is cancelled until further notice. 

The 2016 Safe Ride Home pilot program began in December 2015 as a partnership project between the University of Wisconsin-River Falls (UWRF) and the City’s shared ride taxi service. The program’s emphasis was getting students home safely during the winter months. However, based on the ridership results, the usage was higher than expected by both students and the general public.

The taxi service provides free rides for UWRF students from Thursday through Saturday nights, 10 p.m. - 3 a.m., when classes are in session. The general public pays the regular fare.
