How to get a free ride to vote on Election Day

Need a lift to go vote on Election Day, Saturday, May 3?

Studies have shown that a lack of access to a car can hinder voting. Most North Texas transit operators will give free rides to the polls to encourage as many people as possible to vote.

DART
DART wants to help you exercise your right to vote in the general and special elections by offering FREE rides to polling locations within the service area on Saturday, May 3. Ride at no charge on all DART buses, trains, GoLink, the Dallas Streetcar, Paratransit Services, and the TRE between EBJ Union Station and CentrePort/DFW Airport Station. You simply need to show your valid voter registration card to ride for free on that day. Planning to take GoLink to the polls? Use promo code VOTE53 at checkout for a complimentary Adult Local Day Pass in the GoPass® app on Saturday, May 3 only. More from DART here.

TRINITY METRO
Trinity Metro confirmed it will again be offering free rides for voters on all local services on Election Day. Customers who are riding to or from the polls are eligible for free rides on Trinity Metro buses, Trinity Metro On-Demand rideshare services (including paratransit) and Trinity Metro TEXRail.
