The Auburn University Department of Campus Safety and Security is located at 543 West Magnolia Ave. The Night Security Shuttle is a service that operates between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. and transports passengers to on-campus locations only. Hours of operation will change during home football games.  Shuttles will run as early as two hours post game based on traffic conditions.  Any student or staff can call (334) 844-7400 and speak with the dispatcher to request a pickup or use the Auburn Safety app's chat request feature.

All of the vans are clearly marked with a van number (ex. 182) and amber-colored strobe lights. Night Security Shuttle signs are located on both sides and on the rear. A blinking light denotes that the shuttle is in service. If a van approaches you for pickups without these identifications, please do not enter this van; instead, call 911.

The Night Security Shuttle Service prioritizes pickups in parking lots and other locations where patrons cannot wait in a secured building. 

The Night Security Shuttles are equipped with audio and video surveillance devices for investigational and training purposes as well as GPS tracking, to ensure the safety and security of all transported passengers. The Night Security Shuttle utilizes hand-held radios for communication. Therefore, keep your conversations and electronic devices at a respectable volume.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, the Night Security Shuttle Service has a transport van equipped for wheelchair accessibility.
