GoTriangle Access is a regional curb-to-curb paratransit service (with a door-to-door option, upon request) for eligible residents of Wake, Durham and Orange counties. The service is designed for people with disabilities that prevent them from using the GoTriangle fixed-route bus service.
A trip must begin and end within three-quarters of a mile of a GoTriangle all-day fixed-route bus service. Please call 919-485-7468 for specific qualifying route information.
Complimentary ADA/Paratransit service provided by the Town of Wake Forest will be suspended on October 1, 2024, along with the Wake Forest Loop (WFL A&B) fixed route bus service. The Go Wake Forest microtransit service will come equipped with at least one ADA accessible vehicle at all times, which will take riders anywhere in the Go Wake Forest service area.
Eligible ADA riders for paratransit service can still get to Raleigh in one of two ways:
- Schedule a GoRaleigh Access ride to Raleigh by calling 919-996-3459 no less than 24 hours prior to your trip. The portion of travel between your trip origin in Wake Forest and the GoRaleigh Access service boundary will be operated by a local taxi company partner (standard taxi rates may apply). Once the taxi service reaches the GoRaleigh Access service boundary, your trip will transition to an ADA trip within the GoRaleigh Access Zone.
Alternatively, in lieu of a taxi, riders can book a Go Wake Forest ride to the Sheetz gas station by Capital Blvd (4801 Thornton Rd, Raleigh, NC 27616), where you can transition to a GoRaleigh Access vehicle. Note, 24-hour advance coordination with GoRaleigh Access is still required.
- Request a Go Wake Forest microtransit ride from your trip origin location to the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express (WRX) bus stop in Downtown Wake Forest. This ADA accessible bus service departs from the Northern Wake Senior Center (235 E Holding Ave, Wake Forest, NC) at 6:50 am and 7:50am to the Downtown Raleigh Transit Station (214 S Blount St, Raleigh, NC), and returns at 5:20 pm, 6:20 pm, and 7:20 pm. At the Downtown Raleigh Transit Station, riders can call 919-996-3459 to request a GoRaleigh Access ride to other areas of the City. For more information regarding eligibility and service, contact GoRaleigh Access.
