With students from over 11 counties, the Research Triangle High School had to get creative with transportation. Running their own bus service wasn't feasible so they partnered with GoTriangle to get free GoPasses for employees and students.

Pamela Blizzard, the Managing Director of RTHS, says "We offer GoPasses to any and all employees and students to encourage them to ride the buses here instead of being one of the other cars out on I-40."

Because we have received numerous media inquiries this week about this topic we want to share the following:

GoTriangle received a letter from Duke University President Richard Brodhead on Friday, December 2nd reaffirming the University and Duke University Health System's continued support for the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project.

The letter states that Duke looks forward to continued discussion with GoTriangle about the alignment of the light rail line near Duke Hospital.

For many, Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season. With the National Retail Federation expecting about 1.6 million more Americans hitting the stores this weekend, traffic and long lines are imminent.

Starting now through the holidays, grab your shopping list and leave your car keys at home, as GoTriangle offers an alternative to the stress of driving and hunting for a parking space.

On Tuesday, November 8, according to unofficial results, Wake County voters approved a half-cent sales tax transit referendum, which will be dedicated to help fund significant public transportation improvements identified in the Wake County Transit Plan (the vote is expected to be officially certified around November 18). 

As we turn our clocks back Sunday, and see fewer hours of sunlight during the day, GoTriangle urges all commuters to be extra cautious and safe whether you are driving, waiting for a bus, walking or biking.

“Safety is always our top priority and as more people travel to and from work and school in the dark this time of year, we urge everyone to slow down and be aware of your surroundings. Drivers, walkers, bikers and people waiting at transit stops can all do their part to help keep everyone safe," said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann.

On Wednesday, October 26, GoTriangle, WRAL-TV, the United Way of the Triangle, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport partnered to fill a Storm Relief Bus with needed items for families affected by Hurricane Matthew. By 7 that night, the three buses and two vans at Carter-Finley Stadium were filled to the brim with canned goods and cleaning supplies for families affected by the storm.

Ten businesses and individuals in the Triangle have been honored for promoting ways to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality for the Triangle and North Carolina.  

GoTriangle and RDU International buses delivered food and other supplies to families impacted by Hurricane Matthew in Nash, Edgecombe, Wilson and Johnston Counties on Thursday, October 27.

"We want to sincerely thank our amazing partners and generous community for your tremendous outpouring of support," said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann. "Because of you there are many families in eastern North Carolina who will have food and other critical supplies immediately."

GoTriangle, WRAL-TV, United Way of the Greater Triangle, and the Raleigh-Durham International Airport are partnering to collect and deliver critical need supplies to people impacted by Hurricane Matthew in eastern North Carolina.

Together, we are asking our community to help fill the GoTriangle Storm Relief Bus on Wednesday October 26, 2016 from 5:00 am – 7:00 pm. The bus will be parked in the           Carter-Finley Stadium Lot, Gate A, Trinity Rd.in Raleigh.
