From Lime to Uber to Hertz: Free and discounted Election Day rides


Election Day is nearly here, and if you haven’t already mailed in your ballot or gone in for early voting, you might need a ride come November 5.

“We believe voting should be accessible to everyone, and this initiative is our way of helping residents overcome transportation barriers to make their voices heard,” a Lyft spokesperson told TechCrunch. The app also provides users with quick access to voter registration information and which transit agencies are offering free rides. There are countless transit agencies offering free rides on Election Day — everywhere from Detroit to Des Moines to Durham — so be sure to check with your local authority.
