SNAP - Escort Service
Escort Service
We encourage students, faculty, and staff to use WPI's Security Night Assistance Patrol, or SNAP. We currently staff 2 vans, seven days a week. Cosponsored by the WPI Police Department and the Office of Residential Services, SNAP begins operation on the first night of classes each term and ends on the last day of classes at the end of the term: Sunday through Saturday, from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. during A-Term and D-Term and 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. during B-Term and C-Term
Guidelines for utilizing the SNAP escort service include:
- escorts must fall under a limit of a one (1) mile radius.
- escorts will be provided from off-campus housing, to campus and from campus, to off-campus housing.
- escorts will be provided when on campus to anywhere else on campus.
- escorts are not used for grocery pickups, rides to shopping centers, restaurants, bars, or any other commercial locations.
- escorts may be provided to and from the Train Station or Bus Station to WPI Students only.
- escorts are not allowed by law to transport any forms of drugs or alcohol.
You can reach SNAP by calling +1-508-831-6111. Calls will be handled as expeditiously as possible. However, there may be times when an escort is delayed; please be patient and waiting where you can see the van during such times.
