Safe escort programs, available free of charge to all students, faculty, and staff, provide a walking companion or a safe ride on campus.
A personal escort to your car or residence hall can be requested by calling University Police (878-6333) or extension 6333 from a campus or blue-light phone.
Walking patrol hours during the fall and spring semesters:
Recognizing Your Escort
University Police officers wear gray uniforms with name badges; University Police Student Assistants (UPSA) wear bright red jackets, red shirts, and ID tags. Each UPSA carries a police radio to stay in touch with the university police dispatch center.
Buffalo State's shuttle service features a 16-passenger minibus operated by Gray Line Niagara Falls/Buffalo. This mode of transportation for the campus is able to service all persons including those with disabilities and is ADA compliant. The shuttle is able to provide transportation for up to 15 students at a time with easy on and off access.

The Wegmans/Tops shuttle operates 5:00-8:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, when classes are in session. The shuttle operates on a grocery route picking up students from stops near the Towers, the Student Apartment Complex and Cleveland Hall and going to Tops and Wegmans and back again.

From time to time, one of the regular shuttle buses will need to be pulled out of service for maintenance. In this case, a backup shuttle will be used. Track the backup shuttle.
In support of Buffalo State’s mission to provide safe, timely, and reliable escorts to the campus community, the Gray Line mini bus has been equipped with a web-based Global Positioning System (GPS) to track the location of the vehicles. Using the mini bus Location Service, riders can track the location of the shuttle, on either the day or evening shuttle route via the web or smart phone.
Riders will know their min bus’s location and be able to project its arrival time at the location where they are waiting.
