Campus Safety Tip of the Month

Parking concerns have been on the mind of many. Public Safety urges people to carpool, utilize Madison Metro with your college-issued bus pass, use alternate means of transportation such as a bicycle or park at nearby campuses with more available parking and utilize the campus-to-campus shuttle.

If you have any information regarding the above incidents or other campus safety concerns, please contact our department at 245-2222; Public Safety officers are available 24/7.
