The Wolfline is operated by First Transit, under contract with NC State's Transportation department. [http://media.www.technicianonline.com/media/storage/paper848/news/2007/07/19/News/clean.Fleet.Set.To.Roll.Out-2925269.shtml 'Clean' fleet set to roll out. "Technician Online". Retrieved 2007-07-21.] . The Wolfline was the first mass transit organization in the state to exclusively use 'clean' diesel engines. The preceding contractor was Veolia Transportation.

Currently, the Wolfline operates 13 routes on and between Main, Centennial, and the Veterinary School campuses. These routes often coincide with Capital Area Transit and Triangle Transit Authority routes, facilitating movement about Raleigh by bus.

Of these 13 routes, 11 are daytime routes, and two are "Werewolf" nighttime routes. Over the summer, regular service is roughly cut in half. During student breaks, the Wolfline runs limited service routes, focused on moving faculty and staff around. The Wolfline does not run on federal holidays.

A popular myth among students claims that if a student is hit by a Wolfline bus, then he or she no longer has to pay tuition. This myth is, presumably, false.
