#WhatsMyName Foundation provides rideshare insights to the University of Nevada, Reno

‘Rideshare Zone’ signs have begun popping up around University of Nevada lately, have you wondered why? University of Nevada, Reno Police Department (UNRPD) Specialist of Community Relations and Support Services Madison Eifert discusses the purpose behind the signs as well as what UNRPD has planned to help educate students on keeping themselves safe when using rideshares.

“In 2019, in southern South Carolina there was a student who went out with her friends and by the end of the night she got into a car that was posing as an Uber. She was kidnapped and murdered. Her name was Samantha Josephson and her family began this foundation called the #Whatsmyname Foundation,” Eifert said.
