Park and Ride
Park-and-Ride lots provide easy access to buses! Local Park-and-Ride lots are served by Chapel Hill Transit and require a parking permit. Regional Park-and-Ride lots do not require a permit and are served by regional transit systems including GoTriangle and PART. All buses provide direct service to UNC-Chapel Hill main campus.
Local Park-and-Rides are served by fare-free Chapel Hill Transit buses. Use the Google map to find Park-and-Ride locations and links to bus routes. A parking permit is required:
