MIDLAND-ODESSA, TX (KWES) - EZ-Ride is providing free rides to and from the polls on its fixed route service Tuesday.

When boarding at an EZ-Rider bus stop, riders who tell the driver that they are headed to the polls will have their fare waived. The driver will also be able to help riders identify the right stop to get to a polling location.

After voting, riders can simply show their “I voted!” sticker or tell the bus driver they just voted to receive a free ride from the polling location to their next destination.

As an active part of the communities it serves, EZ-Rider is providing the free rides to demonstrate its support and appreciation for voters participating in the election process.

The service is also offered to remove potential barriers—lack of transportation and lack funds to procure transportation—that might otherwise keep some citizens from being able to exercise their civic right.

EZ-Rider has stops near the following poll locations. Full route maps and schedules can be found on EZ-Rider’s website, www.ez-rider.org.
