After suspending fares during the COVID-19 pandemic, GoTriangle will return to collecting fares on July 1, 2024, with new options for passengers that include digital ticketing and a convenient pass for low-income riders to ride fare-free. Youth (ages 13-18) and seniors (ages 65 and older) will still ride free (as they did pre-pandemic) after they enroll in one of the GoPass programs that allows them to use the Umo digital ticketing platform.
“We’re excited about rolling out these options that are incredibly beneficial to our riders,” says GoTriangle President and CEO Charles Lattuca. “Our passengers will be able to buy digital passes online and ride the bus with one swipe of the GoPass powered by Umo. Through the Umo app, users already can track their trips to see where their buses are in real time. GoPass will allow us to roll out a range of fare options to fit everyone’s needs.”

2035 Wake Transit Plan Update; Phase 1 begins
The 2035 Wake Transit Plan Update is underway!

The Wake Transit Plan has been investing in the region’s public transit system since 2017. It is designed to expand transportation choices for people living, commuting, and traveling in Wake County and the Research Triangle Park Region of North Carolina. The Wake Transit Plan Update will reassess the transit investment priorities associated with the Plan’s “Four Big Moves” established by the 2016 Wake Transit Plan.
