It is the mission of the University of North Texas at Dallas Police Department and the Office of Student Affairs to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our faculty, staff and students. With that mission in mind, our offices have collaborated to offer courtesy escorts to and from the UNT Dallas Rail Station and adjoining to the UNT Dallas Parking Lots. This service will minimize the occurrences of having to commute alone during evening hours which increases the overall safety of our commuting community.
