1. New Youth GoPass puts the free in freedom for Triangle teens - August 6, 2018 is Independence Day for Triangle teens and their parents or guardians. That's when those ages 13 to 18 can start using a free Youth GoPass to explore a three-county world of malls, museums, jobs and schools - with a bus operator doing the driving.
Rides on all GoRaleigh, GoCary, GoDurham and GoTriangle routes will be free to teens with a Youth GoPass, available at several locations including Wake and Durham public libraries, Raleigh Parks and Recreation community centers and transit agency ticket counters.

Information about how to get a Youth GoPass, including a list of distribution sites, is available at YouthGoPass.com.
