Commission notes free rides for voters, plans back‑to‑school outreach
Summary
Commissioners said the service provided five rides for voters in a recent election and discussed radio outreach and back-to-school messaging; they encouraged reminders about free voting rides ahead of November.
Commissioners discussed the transit agency’s role in voter access and community outreach. The administrator said, “We did have an election, so there was 5 rides for people voting.” A commissioner and the chair noted that the agency offers free rides to support voting and urged staff to remind the community.
The chair stated plainly, “Free ride for voting.” Commissioners suggested using radio outreach to promote the service and to remind families about school start dates. The administrator said they had contacted a radio staffer, “Laura b,” and planned to coordinate timing to reach listeners before school starts and ahead of future elections.
The outreach conversation tied into other fall‑season work: staff are preparing budget materials and planning community events where transit promotion can be combined with reminders about free voting rides.
