Online

Fill out this form to see if you qualify for one of GoTriangle's free or discounted fares. If you are eligible for any of the fares, a benefits code will appear on the screen, which you can use in the Umo App or the Passenger Portal if you are using a GoPass Umo Card.

In Person 

Visit the RTC Pass Sales Office to walk through the online form with a staff member. Once completed, if you are eligible for a discounted fare, the staff member will provide the benefit code for you to enter into the Umo App or apply it to your Umo GoPass Card via the Passenger Portal. Discounted fares include: Seniors (ages 65+), Youth (ages 13-18), Disability, and a Transit Assistance Pass

Seniors (ages 65+), Youth (ages 13-18) and Income-Qualified riders may enroll in the fare-free option. Fill out this form to see if you qualify. Enter the code on the screen in your Umo Account under ‘Redeem Benefit Code’ to have it applied to your account.

Visit the Pass Sales Office at the Regional Transit Center to walk through the online form with a staff member. Once completed, if you are eligible for a discounted fare, the staff member will provide the benefit code for you to enter into the Umo App or apply it to your Umo GoPass Card through the Passenger Portal.

Benefits codes for discounted fares will be an eight-digit code that can be entered into the Umo app or Passenger Portal to apply your fare type to your account.

In the Umo app, you can click the three lines in the upper left corner and select ‘Redeem Benefit Code’. GoTriangle-generated codes will look like the following GO- XXXX-XXXX

Fare-capping sets a daily, weekly and monthly cap, so you never pay more than a certain amount during each time frame. Umo keeps track of your fare-capping on your app or GoPass Umo Card.

You will not benefit from fare capping if you pay in cash on the bus.

Suspension of fares was a temporary measure to help protect our staff and riders during the COVID-19 pandemic by avoiding contact at the fare box. The CARES Act funding helped transit agencies continue to operate by providing funds to fill the financial gap. That funding is no longer available. Raleigh City Council voted to resume fare collection effective July 1, 2024.

The GoPass Powered by Umo is now a family of fares and encompasses all fare types. A list of all fare options can be found here.

Example Scenario:

In the morning James boards a GoTriangle bus and pays $2.50 fare from his Umo account. That afternoon he boards a GoRaleigh bus. GoRaleigh's fare cap is $2.50, so he has already reached the limit. His GoRaleigh ride, and all rides on GoRaleigh for the rest of the day will be free of charge. 
Later that evening, he boards a GoTriangle bus to get back home. He has spent $2.50 on fares today, but GoTriangle's Regional fare cap is $5.00, so he will pay $2.50 for his second ride on GoTriangle. Now he has spent $5.00 on transit fares for the day, so he has reached the regional fare cap. Any rides on GoTriangle or GoRaleigh will be free for James for the rest of the day. 

In the morning Nina boards a GoRaleigh bus and pays $1.25 fare from her Umo account. That afternoon she boards a GoTriangle bus for $2.50, she has paid a total of $3.75 in transit for the day. She has met GoRaleigh's fare cap of $2.50, so her rides on GoRaleigh would be free for the rest of the day. She has not met GoTriangle's cap of $5.00, so if she boards a GoTriangle bus she would pay $1.25 (the difference between the $3.75 that she has paid and the $5.00 fare cap). Once she pays this final $1.25, she has spent a total $5.00 on transit fares for the day, so she has reached the regional fare cap. Any rides on GoTriangle and GoRaleigh will be free for Nina for the rest of the day.
