Stripes

The STRIPES safe ride program by the Missouri Students Association (MSA) is a partnership with Uber for Business.

Undergraduate and graduate students who pay the student activity fee will receive up to $15 per month from downtown Columbia to their residence.

This service is available during the fall and spring academic sessions on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. and 9 p.m.- 2 a.m. on home football games.

Eligible 2024-25 students received an invitation email the week of Aug. 14 with a special link to their MU email (ending in @umsystem.edu), prompting them to activate their Mizzou Uber for Business account.

The Mizzou Uber account is separate from the student’s personal account but can be accessed on the Uber app. This is similar to being logged into multiple Instagram accounts on one phone, with the ability to toggle between them.
