Commitment to Inclusivity and Affordability: GoTriangle’s TAP GoPass Program
According to CBS17.COM, in Raleigh, North Carolina, GoTriangle has introduced the Transit Assistance Pass (TAP) GoPass as a pivotal initiative to enhance accessibility to public transportation. This program comes on the heels of the conclusion of free bus fares implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic aiming specifically to support individuals who depend on Medicaid or SNAP/EBT benefits. Starting in July eligible individuals aged 19 to 64 can enroll in the TAP GoPass program which offers discounted fares to facilitate easier access to bus services throughout the Raleigh region. This initiative underscores GoTriangle’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and affordability within the public transit system, ensuring that transportation remains accessible for all residents, especially those facing financial challenges.

TAP GoPass Enrollment Opens: Free Bus Rides and Discounted Fares
Enrollment for the TAP GoPass program opens this Wednesday providing interested applicants until August 1 to register. During this introductory period, participants can ride the bus for free while transitioning to paid fares easing the financial burden of accessing essential transportation services. The introduction of the TAP GoPass is a strategic step by GoTriangle to streamline transportation access particularly benefiting underserved communities and individuals with limited mobility options. By offering discounted fares GoTriangle aims to remove barriers and enhance mobility for residents across Raleigh, fostering a more equitable transit system that meets diverse community needs.
GoTriangle has seen a notable rise in the use of their Umo mobile app with around 9,000 downloads just in July. This app plays a crucial role in updating the transit experience by giving users easy access to bus schedules, routes, and the ability to manage their GoPass benefits digitally. This technological upgrade not only makes traveling more convenient for passengers but also aligns with GoTriangle’s aim to develop a more effective and eco-friendly public transportation system. By embracing digital innovations GoTriangle strives to enhance transit accessibility and promote sustainability for everyone living in Raleigh.
