Metro Offering Free Rides Tuesday to Help Encourage Voter Turnout
From MyNewsLA.com
Metro will offer free bus and train rides Tuesday to encourage Angelenos to vote in the primary election.
Metro’s bike share program will also offer free 30-minute rides Tuesday with the promo code 060722. Rides cost $1.75 for each additional half hour.
The free rides will last from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. Metro’s Board of Directors voted in 2019 to permanently offer free rides on federal and state election days.
People can download the Transit app to see information on how to ride Metro to vote centers or vote-by-mail drop boxes.
Voters can also drop their ballots off at drop boxes at Union Station, El Monte Bus Station, Harbor Freeway Station C and J Lines, Harbor Gateway Transit Center, Hollywood/Western Station B Line, North Hollywood Station B Line, Norwalk Station C Line and the Wilshire/Vermont Station B and D Lines.
In-person voting began last week across Los Angeles County, with more vote center locations opened Saturday ahead of election day on Tuesday.
