Who we are
SSMU DriveSafe is a student-run service by the Students’ Society of McGill University. Our volunteers drive McGill students safely home and for free to and from anywhere on the Island of Montreal as well as to Montmorency metro station, Longueuil metro station, and to Kahnawá:ke.

IMPORTANT things to consider when using DriveSafe ?
We ask that you please use DriveSafe responsibly and for the right reasons to show respect to our hardworking volunteers. Below are some important guidelines to consider when using DriveSafe.
- If its an emergency, don’t wait for DriveSafe, call 911!
- Opened alcohol is NOT permitted at anytime in a DriveSafe van.
- Volunteers have total and absolute discretion as to who to allow into their van and where to go.
We are a service aimed at bringing students home safely, not a taxi service for transporting you from place to place! - Please do not rely on DriveSafe to get home. We try our best, but it may be a busy night or we may get a flat tire and therefore, will not be able to reach you.
