TARC will offer free rides across its regular routes and TARC3 paratransit service on Tuesday, November 3, helping Jefferson County residents reach their polling places.

The transit agency says the fare-free service will operate on normal weekday schedules for the general election.

That means passengers can plan around familiar route times while removing the cost of a fare from their voting-day arrangements.

Jefferson County Clerk David Yates welcomed the transportation effort as a way to reduce barriers for eligible voters.

The free-ride announcement applies to TARC services on Election Day, but residents should still check which route connects with their assigned polling place.

Kentucky polling locations are scheduled to be open from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. local time on November 3.

For someone balancing work, family obligations or transportation challenges, knowing the route in advance can make a significant difference.

Riders using TARC3 should verify any booking procedures that normally apply to paratransit trips.

Free transportation does not change voter eligibility or polling-place rules, so those details need separate confirmation.

Residents should review official election information before setting out and allow sufficient travel time.

The initiative gives local voters one less logistical concern on Election Day.
