Safety and Security Vehicles
Bard College Safety and Security vehicles are clearly marked and easily identifiable. Security vehicles are equipped with yellow emergency light bars which, when activated during emergencies, require that pedestrian and vehicular traffic clear the way. Security vehicles will activate these lights only during emergencies, including helping to guide emergency service vehicles on campus. If you request transport on campus from Security, never enter a vehicle that is not clearly identifiable as a Bard Security vehicle.
