In the heart of Texas, voters in San Antonio are in for a treat this Election Day! VIA Metropolitan Transit is once again stepping up to ensure that everyone has access to the polls with their wonderful program, “Ride VIA to Vote.” This fantastic initiative allows anyone who can show a valid voter registration card to hop on board a bus completely free of charge to make their way to the polling sites.
This program isn’t just about a free bus ride. It’s about making sure every voice is heard and every vote counts. The goal is to encourage civic engagement and participation, particularly for those who might not have reliable transportation. If you know someone who could use a lift to cast their vote, now’s the time to spread the word!
As we gear up for Election Day this Tuesday, it’s essential for the community to come together and make their voices heard. VIA’s president/CEO, Jeffrey C. Arndt, shared, “VIA Metropolitan Transit is proud to ensure that all citizens have equitable access to the ballot box.” He continued, emphasizing that getting to and from polling locations should never stand in the way of exercising the right to vote.
If you or someone you know needs a ride, the process is easy-peasy! You can utilize the regular VIA bus services, along with VIA Link and VIAtrans paratransit, throughout the designated service area on Election Day. Planning your trip is a breeze with the Transit app, or if you prefer a mobile experience, check out the VIA goMobile+ app. Both apps are readily available for download at VIAinfo.net/gomobileplus.
VIA has been providing free rides to the polls since launching the “Ride VIA to Vote” program back in 2016. Over the years, they have made a significant impact on improving accessibility for countless voters in our community.
This welcoming initiative not only serves to help those in need but also fosters a spirit of community and shared responsibility. Whether you’re a seasoned voter or trying it for the first time, remember that your vote is your voice. Make it heard loud and clear this Election Day!
