You can request a walk, online or by phone, up to 15 minutes before you need to meet your escort, as they will only wait 5 minutes for you after they arrive at the pickup destination. They service the immediate area around campus, so this might not be a viable choice for students living too far off campus (but they can still escort you to any busy stop nearby!) The number to call is (510) 642 9255, and you can also visit http:// BearWalk service boundary area. bearwalk.berkeley.edu to request an escort.
