This initiative provides a convenient option for travelers using bus services to reach Raleigh-Durham International Airport or for those commuting to overnight jobs, according to the news release.
"Our vision is to be our region's trusted mobility partner, and we are excited to make airport access even more affordable for current and future riders," said Gary Tober, GoTriangle's Chief Development Officer. "Anything we can do to make transportation more accessible; we are all for it."
The parking lot on Slater Road off I-540 allows travelers to catch the GoTriangle RTP shuttle to and from the airport, which operates every 30 minutes from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
Travelers can also take Route 100 to stop at Terminal 1 and 2. The RDU Shuttle is timed to connect with GoTriangle routes 100, 310, 700, 800, and 805 for easy transfers.
This route departs every hour from Downtown Raleigh directly to the airport starting at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and all day on Sunday.
To use the free overnight parking, travelers must apply for a parking pass to display on their vehicle dash. Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
