The SNAP Express begins its continuous route at the J.W. Reitz Union. 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.
