Durham Area Transit Authority (DATA) is the public transit system serving Durham, North Carolina.

The fixed-route system incorporates 165 employees and 53 buses transporting more than 13,000 daily riders on 18 routes. The paratransit system includes 43 vans and 57 employees transporting clients to various places within the city and nearby Chapel Hill.

DATA operates 48 full-sized and 5 22-seat Goshen Cutaway buses on 18 routes. All of the full-size buses are of Gillig manufacture and are dual-door low-floor. The fleet livery is white with red, blue and yellow striped relief. Bicycle racks are fitted to the front of all buses. 20 Gillig BRT hybrid 40-foot buses are on order for September 2009 delivery.[citation needed]

There is a flat fare system US$1, $2 for unlimited one-day pass; senior citizens ride free. The system's service contracts are let for five years.

Most routes depart/arrive at the downtown terminal at the top of the hour and every half hour from 5:30 a.m. until 12:30 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sunday. There is no service Christmas day.

The downtown terminal was relocated to a new transportation center (Durham Station) that also serves Triangle Transit Authority and Greyhound Lines buses on February 23, 2009. The building was designed by the Freelon group.
