What is GoPerks?
GoTriangle developed the GoPerks program to encourage Triangle-area commuters, including employees and university students, to choose sustainable alternatives to driving alone. Since its launch in January 2015, GoPerks has supported GoTriangle's mission to reduce traffic, help commuters save money, and improve the environment and quality of life by offering prize drawings for smart commuting choices.
Get Rewarded for your Go!
With GoPerks, whether you're a student or employee, your smart commute—by bus, bike, walking, carpool, vanpool or telework—can earn you exciting rewards. It’s easy: commute sustainably, track your trips, and get rewarded with cool prizes like gift cards to local businesses and more.

Get Started
To join the GoPerks program, just visit STRNC.org. If you don’t have an account yet, complete the registration process. If you already have an account, congratulations! Just track a smart commute trip in your Commute Calendar to begin earning points for prize drawings. Check out these FAQs for more questions or call 919-485-7477 for assistance.
Using ShareThRideNC, Triangle area commuters can use an online calendar to track each day they use a smart commute. Each smart commute by carpool, vanpool, transit, biking or walking earns points. After tracking commute modes in the calendar on a monthly basis points are redeemed for entries in monthly drawings for gift certificates and prizes. Partnerships with employers and local businesses are fundamental to the success of this robust rewards program. The program is free but the rewards are priceless!
Who is Eligible for GoPerks?
GoPerks is open to employees and university students who live, work, or study in Durham, Orange, or Wake counties. Participants must use a smart commute option—such as bus, bike, walking, carpool, vanpool or telework—and track their trips in the drag-and-drop Commute Calendar at STRNC.com to earn rewards.

Testimonies
“I bike commute for the exercise, the convenience, the money savings and for the dose of fresh air first thing in the morning! Since I live only a couple of miles from campus, trying to park and walk to work just doesn’t make sense. I’ve been tracking my commute regularly since I started at UNC. I was immediately attracted to the idea of saving money through discounts and potentially winning prizes just by keeping track of what I was already doing on a daily basis. I love winning prizes for shops and restaurants that I regularly visit anyway, and it’s been fun to find out about local businesses I’ve previously never been to through the program as well. I’m a strong supporter of any program that incentivizes and makes more accessible alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles, especially for a place as congested as Chapel Hill!”
