On Tuesday, Santa Clarita Transit will offer free rides throughout the entire day to try and increase turnout by making it easier for citizens to get to the polls.
In addition to free rides on city buses, the Santa Clarita “Dial-A-Ride” service, which drives residents with special needs or disabilities around town, will also be offering free transportation on Election Day.
“With every election, ensuring that the highest number of voters possible make it to the polls is a top priority,” said City of Santa Clarita officials in a statement.
In a recent study, it was found that transportation barriers were a deterring factor for more than half of non-voters in California’s 2016 elections, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“With some important ballot measures at stake, Santa Clarita Transit, along with countless transit agencies across the nation, will do their part to make voting more accessible,” said officials.
Residents who wish to use Dial-A-Ride or Access Services to get to the polls must inform their customer service representative at the time of booking that the trip is intended for voting purposes, according to City officials.
