Regional Transit - Transportation and Parking

GoTriangle

GoTriangle provides direct bus service between Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and other parts of the Triangle. Free Park-and-Ride lots allow riders to park near a bus stop. All buses are equipped with two bike racks for convenience and are wheelchair accessible. Transfers between buses are free; just ask the driver for a free transfer ticket.

GoTriangle will resume fare collection effective July 1, 2024. University faculty, staff, employees and affiliates and UNC Hospital employees with an active UNC-Chapel Hill email are eligible for a free GoPass.

Commuters who do not qualify for a GoPass may purchase discounted passes from the online pass store. For information on fares and passes, visit gotriangle.org or call 919-485-RIDE (7433).
