September 1, 2026  –  Students, faculty, and staff at William Peace University in Downtown Raleigh can now take advantage of regional public transit options thanks to the GoPass program. With the Education GoPass, members of the Peace community can travel via GoTriangle and GoRaleigh buses at no cost, allowing Pacers the chance to more efficiently explore the Triangle. (A GoPass is not required to ride GoCary, GoDurham, and Chapel Hill Transit, as they remain fare-free.)

"At William Peace University, we encourage our students to explore Raleigh and engage with the surrounding community, businesses, and cultural institutions," said Frank Rizzo, Vice President for Student Life. "The GoPass program allows Peace to offer students a no-cost way to travel around the city and the Triangle."

For members of the Peace community looking to access GoPass information, it can be found on PacerNet in the Peace Services Section under Public Safety and then scroll to Parking and Transportation.

The GoPass sponsorship program is available to universities/colleges, corporate employers, and non-profits. A GoPass partner is an organization that values the benefits of transit through a GoPass sponsorship. GoPass sponsorships cover transit on GoRaleigh and GoTriangle bus routes for partner organizations and communities they support.

“I couldn’t be happier about this new partnership with William Peace University. What is extra exciting about it is they came to us [GoTriangle] seeking a greener, sustainable option for the Peace community,” said Audra Foree, Sr. Manager of Regional Partnerships & Community Engagement for GoTriangle. “We, along with our friends at  GoRaleigh, are happy to oblige. I can’t wait to see Pacers on board on their way to campus or anywhere else they can travel to by bus in the Triangle region.”
