The Move To the Polls initiative looks to remove transportation and information barriers to voting in the upcoming election.
Greensboro Transit Agency's Marketing and Communications Specialist Kevin Elwood says the nonpartisan initiative aims to tackle a commonly heard challenge: getting to the polls.
"This was an area that we felt like that we could help make a difference by not only providing a free transportation on Election Day, but also going beyond that, and educating our riders about the elections and making sure that they are well aware of their rights and privileges," he says.
As part of the campaign the agency will be conducting voter registration at the J. Douglas Galyon Depot downtown along with other locations. The Greensboro Transit Agency is also offering a downloadable voter guide for information on election dates and poll locations.
