TARTA wants to make sure everyone’s voice is heard on Election Day by giving customers a free ride to their polling place.
TARTA fixed route, paratransit and flex on-demand services will be free all day on Tuesday, November 5, as part of the Voter Ready with TARTA campaign.
At tarta.com/news/vote ready, customers will find resources to help them locate their polling place and find which route can get them there.
“TARTA’s mission is to connect the community with the destinations that matter most, and that certainly includes making sure everyone has the opportunity to vote,” said Laura Koprowski, chief executive officer. “Fare-free rides on Election Day is TARTA’s way of removing barriers, so everyone’s voice can be heard.”
Regular routes 3, 19 and 52 can get customers to the early vote center at Lucas County’s shared services building, 3737 West Sylvania Avenue. Early voting runs through Sunday, November 3.
Customers can find which bus gets them to their polling place at tarta.com/ routes. Paratransit customers can make reservations by calling 419-382-9901.
