Free Ride
There is such a thing as a free ride, and Lextran will be offering them on Tuesday, Nov. 5 to increase access to polling locations on Election Day.
“Exercising your right to vote should not be hindered by a lack of transpor- tation,” said Carrie Butler, Lextran General Manager. “That is why we are offering free rides on Election Day, to better connect people to their polling locations and empower them to partic- ipate in these important elections.”
If you need assistance planning your trip, please call Lextran Customer Service at 859-253-INFO (4636).
