If you're looking for a ride to the polls on Election Day, TARC has you covered.

The Louisville-area transit will be offering fare-free service to polling locations along its regular routes Tuesday.

To get to the nearest bust stop to their voting locations, passengers can board any of TARC's 223 buses on Tuesday and ask the driver: "May I ride to vote?"

“Mobility should not be a barrier to exercising one’s right to vote,” said Ferdinand L. Risco Jr., TARC executive director. “We encourage everyone to get to the polls and exercise that right on Nov. 5.”
