TravelSafer can be utilized virtually via the App or in person. The program is available to and from all U of T building or abutting TTC Subway station. This is a 24/7 service but recommended more often when it’s dark. Call 416-978-SAFE (7233) to arrange an escort or download the Campus Safety app at the App Store or Google Play.
