A walking or driving escort is dispatched, or the requester is advised when the Express van will next be at their location. SNAP's funding comes from Student Government, Student Traffic Court, the University Administration, and the University Police Department. A police department vehicle also was assigned in that year to augment the service during peak periods. During the 1986 academic year, the Student Traffic Court purchased a 15 passenger van for SNAP's use. As a cooperative effort of the university administration and the University Police Department, Student Government and Student Traffic Court, SNAP plays a vital role in enhancing personal safety at the University of Florida.
SNAP continues to be a valuable resource for safe nighttime travel.
Your call will be received by the SNAP dispatcher who will ask for your first name, location and destination. The dispatcher will route the nearest escort to you or provide the location and time of the next SNAP express stop at your location. Snap provides thousands of safe escorts each year. You should plan ahead and contact SNAP prior to your desired departure time to reduce waiting time. The SNAP Express is a 15 passenger van sponsored by the Student Government and the University Police Department.
