Campus Safety provides free, mobile transportation as a means of strengthening the safety of the university community and its members. The LIMO (local intercampus mobile operations) program has various door-to-door, full -sized vans, and LIMO EXPRESS mini buses operated by trained student employees. The LIMOs provide free, safe transportation within a large service area around the oncampus and near off-campus neighborhood.

GoRiteWay

busses are currently replacing our regular LIMO service during the academic year. They operate nightly from 5 p.m. until 3 a.m. The busses follow a set path through campus and can be tracked using the EagleEye App.

LIMO Express

vans also operate from 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. and run two designated routes during the school year: one drives a loop on Wisconsin Avenue and Wells Street, and the other drives a loop on Wisconsin Avenue and Kilbourn Avenue You do not have to call for a LIMO Express, the mini buses stop at every corner and can simply be waved down.

Blue Light Phones & EagleEye App

To provide members of the Marquette and surrounding community with a direct means of contacting the MU Police Department, the university maintains over 450 Blue Light Phones. Blue Light Phones, most frequently recognized by the blue lights on the top of the phones, are placed through university buildings, sidewalks, apartments, parking areas, and the near off-campus areas.

Blue Light

Phones can be activated by either lifting the phone receiver or pushing the red intercom button located within the phone’s boxes. Upon activation of a Blue Light Phone, the communications officer can immediately identify the caller’s location and will provide the appropriate assistance. Blue Light Phones can be used to request directions, request a LIMO, report suspicious behavior or if you are the victim of or witness a crime. EagleEye is MUPD’s free safety app. The EagleEye app features a mobile BlueLight feature, which allows users to press a button that connects them directly to MUPD and sends the device’s location in realtime, as long as location services are turned on. The app also includes features for using Campus Safety services, emergency contact numbers, and friend walk. The university encourages all students, faculty, and staff to download EagleEye as an added layer of security.
