COLUMBUS, Ohio — Election Day is next week and the Central Ohio Transit Authority is providing fare-free rides for voters to ensure Ohioans can cast their votes.
Through its “Rolls to the Polls” initiative, all transit fares are waived for customers on Tuesday, Nov. 4, on COTA’s fixed-route bus system, COTA Mainstream, Mainstream On-Demand and COTA//Plus.
“Providing fare-free service on Election Day reflects COTA’s commitment to removing any barrier and ensuring that every Central Ohioan has an equal opportunity to make their voice heard,” said COTA President/CEO Monica Téllez-Fowler. “Waving transit fares on Election Day is a simple but powerful way to show that mobility and democracy go hand in hand.”
Voters can confirm their polling location on the Franklin County Board of Elections website and plans their trip at COTA.com or the Transit app on their smartphone.
