On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the Town of Wake Forest introduced a town-wide microtransit pilot program called “Go Wake Forest.”

Microtransit is a ridesharing transit service that operates similarly to Uber and Lyft, connecting riders directly to destinations from their doorstep.

Riders can schedule rides through the official Go Wake Forest smartphone app and by calling +1 984-342-2319.

During the pilot phase of the new microtransit service, Town officials will work to resolve any issues through rigorous testing and rider feedback. To offset any potential inconveniences, Wake Forest will offer the service to riders at no cost.

In addition, the Town has provided an online feedback form, which allows users to offer valuable input on how the new service can be improved.

“Our ultimate goal is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable transit to our residents, and rider input is essential for this to occur,” said Long Range Planning Manager Brad West.
