Metro Transit will provide fare-free rides on all buses, ORBT, MOBY, Micro Flex // driven by Metro services on Tuesday, November 3rd for the General Election with Bus to Ballot.

Anyone will be able to board a Metro bus, ORBT, or Micro Flex van without needing a fare on election day. MOBY rides will be free for certified MOBY clients.

“Getting to the polls can look different for everyone, but what’s important is that people are able to access the ballot box and exercise their right to vote,” said Lauren Cencic, Metro Transit CEO.  “I’m proud of the work that our team does every day to provide an essential service for the community but especially fare free access on Election Day.”

“Metro Transit helps people access opportunities and participate in our community every day,” said Curt Simon, Board Chair for the Regional Metropolitan Transit Authority. “Offering fare-free rides with the Bus to Ballot program extends that commitment to one of the most important ways people can make their voices heard.”
