The Gopher Chauffeur app is currently experiencing an outage but we are still committed to getting our campus community home safely! For the time being, we will have 4 designated pickup spots that you can request a ride from: Middlebrook Hall, Walter Library, Health Sciences Library, and Recreation and Wellness Center (RecWell).
Please wait inside one of those designated buildings until you see a Gopher Chauffeur van pull up and then approach the van to request a ride with our drivers! Due to demand, you may need to wait 20 or more minutes before a van arrives so please stay inside until we arrive for your safety :)
If our app comes online at any point before the end of our service this evening, we will continue operation as usual. As a reminder, we will be operating until 12:30AM this evening. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Thinking about applying to work for the Gopher Chauffeur?! Alexis thinks you should!
“Hi everyone! My name is Alexis (she/her) and I am a Team Lead at Gopher Chauffeur. Goph Chauf is probably one of the best campus jobs you can have! The people working here are so much fun and each shift we work to build strong camaraderie and good vibes that are unmatched by any other campus job. You also get to meet so many new students during a shift and bond with them over anything from the music you are playing to how to make the best Chai. Most of all, the job is rewarding because you are a key part of the University's plan to keeping students safe at night. Safety is always our #1 priority for our riders AND employees, so you will always have the fantastic team to back you up at any point in the night.”
