LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky's general election is just days away. Louisville officials are making it easy to vote by offering free rides to the polls on Nov. 7, 2023.
The Transit Authority of the River City (TARC) is continuing its "Ride to Vote" tradition once again for Election Day.
“Keeping the community moving forward is the most important part of what we do. Offering fare-free rides on Election Day so people can vote at their precinct polling location fulfils that mission in more ways than one,” TARC's Executive Director Carrie Butler said. “Getting where you need to go that day is as easy as hopping on and having a seat.”
All TARC routes in Louisville will be fare-free to help provide convenient access to and from polling places across the Metro.
“TARC’s year-after-year dedication to this effort is key to providing registered voters the opportunity to make their voices heard on Election Day,” Bobbie Holsclaw, Jefferson County Clerk and Chairperson, Board of Elections, said. “Providing a free, fair, and secure election is something that takes all of us, and we remain grateful for TARC’s contribution to this important effort. Removing transportation barriers is essential to helping many people exercise their American right to vote.”
As with most elections, polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Election Day.
