Beginning Tuesday, Oct. 1, the Town of Wake Forest will introduce a town-wide microtransit pilot program called “Go Wake Forest.”
Microtransit is a ridesharing transit service that operates similarly to Uber and Lyft, connecting riders directly to destinations from their doorstep.
Riders will be able to schedule rides through the official Go Wake Forest smartphone app, scheduled for release in late September 2024, and by calling a hotline number which will coincide with the app release.
During the pilot phase of the new microtransit service, Town officials will work to resolve any issues through rigorous testing and rider feedback. To offset any potential inconveniences, Wake Forest will offer the service to riders at no cost.
Wake Transit Plan partner agency GoCary was recently featured for its new Downtown Loop in a well-done Facebook video. Check out Fabian Rodriguez, transit public outreach specialist, as he discusses how it is now easier than ever to enjoy all that downtown Cary has to offer via the Downtown Loop.
