Bus/GoPass

GoPass

As a Wake Tech student or employee, you are eligible for a free regional GoPass, which allows you to ride any local or regional bus route for free. This includes all buses in GoTriangle, GoRaleigh, GoCary and GoDurham systems.

To be eligible, you must currently be enrolled in a seated Wake Tech class and have a current, valid Wake Tech ID. All full- and part-time employees are eligible for GoPasses.

To get your GoPass, visit one of the following ID/parking offices:

• Southern Wake Campus: Building A, Room 102

To use your GoPass:

• Visit gotriangle.org or Google Maps to plan your trip, which bus to ride and when and where to board. You may also contact Wake Tech’s Transportation Coordinator for additional assistance.
• Tap your GoPass on the electronic fare box in the bus next to the driver.
• Show the bus driver your Wake Tech ID when prompted.

GoPasses will be deactivated for students who lose their pass, do not comply with requirements or are no longer enrolled.

The GoPass is not transferable. It is valid only for the student to whom it was issued. 

Riding the bus to campus

One of the easiest ways to navigate the transit system in the Triangle area is with apps like Transloc and Moovit. Transloc gives you live updates as to where your bus is, giving you ease of mind when planning and executing your trip. Moovit lets you know what the best route is for getting to your destination and tells you when the next bus will be departing. Both apps are must-haves to make traveling in the Triangle area a breeze. You can also use the transit option found under the direction button in Google Maps, which will give you the best available routes to take to your destination.
