Bus with voters boarding.
Knoxville — To support voter turnout and ensure easy access to polling stations, Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) will offer fare-free rides throughout Election Day.
“**Access to transportation is crucial for voter participation**.” “**We want to remove any barriers that might prevent people from getting to the polls**.”
Passengers can plan their route to the polling stations using the free **Transit app**, the trip planner feature on **www.katbus.com**, or by contacting **KAT’s customer service**. **KAT** advises passengers to **plan their trips early** to ensure they reach their polling locations, as some routes may finish before polling stations close.
To find your polling location, visit **www.KnoxVotes.org**. Ensure you know your correct polling station in advance to make full use of the **fare-free transit service**.
With this initiative, Knoxville is aiming to make sure **every citizen has a chance to vote**, thus reinforcing the democratic process. The **free rides** are designed to support those who might otherwise struggle to get to the polls due to **transportation barriers**.
Your voice matters, and Knoxville Area Transit is here to help you be heard.
