Furthermore, the SLC is equipped with the necessary safety and security hardware such as smoke detectors and alarm systems, all building access to student rooms are kept locked, and each student is issued an Eastman Identification Card (ID) which activates the doors in the SLC. Room door keys are issued to each resident. All residents must present a valid Eastman ID card upon entry and when asked by University officials, including front desk staff. \u00a0All residents are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings in the City of Rochester. A typical Eastman student walks quickly and focuses intently on crossing the street without distraction, looking both ways, and intent on getting to their destination. Additionally, Eastman students walk in well-lit sidewalks, avoid unfamiliar areas, and are encouraged to speak loud and clear about their comfort with strangers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_empty_space]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-34596a011ceba194a\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-34596a011ceba194a uvc-2304  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"line_only\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer line_only\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;height:4px;\"><span class=\"uvc-headings-line\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-bottom-width:4px;border-color:#ffc70a;width:80px;\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-34596a011ceba194a h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h2 style=\"--font-weight:theme;margin-bottom:20px;\">Transportation<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_accordion active_tab=&#8221;false&#8221; collapsible=&#8221;yes&#8221; title_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; style=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;How does the shuttle system to the University of Rochester work?&#8221;][vc_column_text]The shuttle buses are open to anyone who holds a University of Rochester (Eastman included) ID card.
