Cary, NC - GoCary has been recognized by the North Carolina Public Transportation Association (NCPTA) as the safest fixed route transit system operating under 1 million miles per year and the safest demand response system operating under 750,000 miles per year in North Carolina. This is the third time GoCary has received both statewide safety awards.

The awards are based on a calculation of preventable accidents per 100,000 miles driven between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, highlighting GoCary's strong safety performance across both service types.

Transit Design and Construction Manager Jorge Salazar and Senior Transit Planner Mark Eatman accepted the awards this month at the annual NCPTA conference.

"Providing safe, reliable service is at the core of everything we do at GoCary," said Transit Director Kelly Blazey. "This recognition reflects the dedication of our entire team and our commitment to ensuring every rider can travel with confidence."

GoCary provides fixed route and door to door transit services for residents and visitors, helping connect the community to jobs, schools, health care, shopping, and regional transit options. The system plays a vital role in supporting mobility and accessibility across Cary and the greater Triangle region.
