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 $12 worth of Uber rides from downtown Columbia to their residence each month.

This service is available every Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Eligible 2024-25 students received an invitation email with a special link to their MU email (ending in @umsystem.edu), prompting them to activate their Mizzou Uber for Business account. To find the email, search “Uber for Business” in your inbox.

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.
