Historical Note
Frustration from the growing number of assaults on women led to the development of
Women's Wheels in the late 1970s, providing women with free transportation when it was
dark and they felt unsafe. In 1981, the IU Student Association took over the program and
expanded the service so it could accommodate more riders; eventually IUSA also added a
Walking Escort Service. The program is funded through the student activity fee that
every IU student pays.
In the early 1990s, there was some controversy about whether or not the service should
also be available to male students and staff. After much debate, the service was made
available to men in 1994. About that same time, the program name was changed to the
Safety Escort Service. The service is still available today.
Arrangement
