Walking

We are transportation

One of the easiest ways to travel across the U of I campus is on foot- it's inexpensive, efficient and convenient. Our campus and the city of Moscow fit neatly within a walkable 2-mile diameter circle. Walk from the perimeter of campus to the Idaho Student Union Building in about 10 minutes. Walk from the Sweet Ave. entrance of campus to the Kibbie Dome in about twenty minutes. 

Etiquette

• If you need to text, talk or slow down for any reason, step out of the walkway so your fellow Vandals can get where they’re going.
• Turn music down so you can hear approaching bicycles, skateboards, scooters and motorized vehicles.
• If walking with friends, walk in a column so your fellow Vandals going the opposite way or needing to pass have the space they need.
• Slow down and look in all directions before you enter a crosswalk, confirming that drivers see you and are going to stop.

Inclement weather

Rain and snow may make walking a little more challenging. Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather. When snow and/or ice is on the ground, utilize personal traction devices to prevent slips and falls. Yield to workers and machinery clearing snow and just as you would when driving, allow extra time to get where you’re going!

Safe Walk

A quick call to Campus Security (208-885-7233 (SAFE)) is all it takes to request the Safe Walk service — no questions asked. A security officer will meet a caller any place on the Moscow campus and walk that person(s) to their destination on campus. Campus Security encourages the campus community to use Safe Walk when needed. For more information or questions, go to Safe Walk or contact Campus Security at 208-885-7233 (SAFE) or campus-security@uidaho.edu.
