Make a difference while you’re making a living

No matter where you live, mobility is the key that opens the door of opportunity. If you can’t get there, you can’t work there, learn there or get medical care there.

As the regional transportation provider in North Carolina’s Research Triangle area, GoTriangle is proud that our mission means expanding possibilities for our neighbors while also combatting the traffic congestion that threatens our quality of life.

Whether GoTriangle team members are operating a bus, planning the routes, working on carburetors or computers or getting the word out about all of the benefits of transit, each person plays a critical role in how well we serve our community.

New employees would be joining an agency that offers a wide variety of fixed route, paratransit and vanpool services to the Triangle’s three counties. We serve Apex, Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Garner, the RDU International Airport, RTP and Raleigh.

New team members who also are new to the Triangle would be taking up residence in a prime location just a few hours from the North Carolina mountains on one side and the East Coast on the other. The Triangle has been repeatedly cited as one of the best places in the country to live for a reason! Just for starters, it:

• Has unbeatable access to quality health care.
• Is home to one of the largest research parks in the world.
• Has 12 universities or colleges, three of which are world-class research universities.
• Is near the largest military base in the world.
• Has a vibrant cultural scene, award-winning chefs and hundreds of miles of greenways.

GoTriangle continues to add projects designed to enhance mobility, increase connectivity and promote sustainable development. Come grow with us!

We currently have multiple openings for transit operators, paratransit operators and service attendants. Candidates must have a Commercial Driver’s License Class B with Passenger Endorsement. Commercial Driver’s Permits are also acceptable.
