UNC Commuter Alternative Program CAP is a nationally recognized program that rewards commuting students and employees who choose not to drive alone to UNC-Chapel Hill.

The Commuter Alternative Program (CAP) rewards employees and students commuting to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus by bus, bike, ridesharing, and walking. Communication is imperative for any success when it comes to alternative transportation, so feel free to share your stories about using alternative transportation!

We'll be adjusting the FCX detour starting on Friday. The new detour helps move UNC Health team members to the hospital area and return to the Friday Center more efficiently. The new detour only serves Manning Drive stops- skipping South Columbia and South Road stops**

Customers who use the FCX to reach central campus should take the S bus. **After 8pm, the FCX will return to South Road for departures from campus to the Friday Center.

Information on our Routes and Schedules page under VIEW ACTIVE DETOURS.

Thank you for your patience while we maintain service during road closures.
