The University Police Department’s 4-RIDE escort service runs the same operating hours during the summer, but the Colonial Express shuttle service will not be available, said UPD Director Dolores Stafford. The 4-RIDE service is available from dusk until dawn every day of the week. Stafford said non-GW students living in the residence halls during the summer can use the service if they have a GWorld card.
Non-GW students living on campus this summer can obtain a GWorld card if they want to open a Debit Dollars account.
