The Blue Light escort service provides night escorts around the Cornell campus and the closely surrounding area. Escorts are paid and trained students. A pair of escorts can be requested by calling 255-7373 or using a blue light phone between 8:00 PM and 1:00 AM 7 days a week during the fall and spring semesters. Patrols include central campus, Collegetown, North Campus, and Cayuga Heights. Originally funded by a $2500 gift from the class of 1982, the program has since been sponsored by the Cornell University Police.
