Alternative Transportation
With thousands of visitors, 36,000 employees and nearly 15,000 students, Duke encourages staff, faculty and students who commute to campus to explore alternative transportation options. The "Unpark Yourself" program encompasses these options, and offers many ways to save on fuel costs and parking fees, while also helping Duke create a more sustainable campus. To stay up-to-date on commute programs at Duke, subscribe to the Unpark Yourself mailing list. For assistance in finding the best transportation options for your commute, submit a request to create a personal commute plan.
A car-free commute at Duke is easier than ever with GoPass, which allows all students and eligible faculty and staff to take unlimited rides on GoDurham, GoTriangle, and GoRaleigh.
We offer a carpool program with an array of incentives, including free and convenient parking for groups of four or more people. The program is open to all Duke staff, faculty, and students who have a vehicle and live off-campus.
We work with GoTriangle and Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation to provide vanpool programs to employees. Employees can sign up and designate a driver and riders.
