WAKE FOREST, NC - In 2024, the Town of Wake Forest introduced “Go Wake Forest,” a ridesharing microtransit service that connects riders directly from their doorstep to anywhere in Wake Forest’s jurisdiction and portions of Raleigh’s Wakefield neighborhood. Since its inception, Go Wake Forest has operated six days a week - Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Fridays from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Beginning Sunday, Oct. 4, riders can take advantage of Sunday service hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday service will initially launch with limited capacity to gauge rider demand. If demand is strong, the Town will increase capacity to levels typically available during standard weekday service.
Riders can schedule rides through the official Go Wake Forest smartphone app available for download at https://bit.ly/GoWakeForest or by calling 984-342-2319.
