Coastal Carolina University announced today it's launching "Chauncey Patrol," as part of an ongoing effort to make its campus safer.
Chauncey Patrol is a new transportation program that provides students, faculty and staff with free golf cart rides to their vehicle or on-campus residence between the hours of 4 p.m. and 2 a.m. daily.
The University's Department of Public Safety has hired 11 students who will work five-hour shifts during the evening, night and early morning to ensure safe transport for those who have to walk to their cars or dorm rooms.
Chauncey is the nickname of the University's mascot, the Chanticleer, the feisty barnyard rooster from Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales."
The program has been in the planning stages since last November and in operation since February 1st.
Chauncey Patrol is currently limited to the University's main campus and does not operate across University Boulevard or U.S. 501.
