To help improve accessibility for voters in the upcoming federal election, The City of Red Deer is offering free transit service on election day, Monday, October 21, 2019. The free ridership will be in effect for the conventional Red Deer Transit system for the entire service day, not just during polling hours.
“We want to help as many people get to the polls as possible,” said Red Deer Transit Manager George Penny. “Thousands of people rely on Red Deer Transit every day to help them get around the city, and if we can eliminate one of the barriers that might keep someone from being able to vote, we want to do that.”
The free transit program will be in effect on all fixed routes between 6:15 a.m. and 11:15 p.m on October 21. It does not apply to Bolt Regional Transit, 2A Regional Transit or Action Bus.
Red Deer Transit routes and schedules are available online at www.reddeer.ca/transit.
