CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA) announced they will be offering free bus rides on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2020.
The rides will be free on all fixed-routes, B-Line Paratransit, FLEX, and rural on-demand services. There will be no identification or registration required to ride for free.
“CCRTA is excited to provide safe, efficient public transportation as a courtesy to the community on Election Day. By providing fare-free rides, we hope to remove transportation or financial hardship as a barrier to voting,” Jorge Cruz-Aedo, CCRTA Chief Executive Officer, said.
For riders with disabilities, free B-Line Paratransit services can be provided, but pick-up times need to be scheduled in advance. For more information on B-Line Paratransit service, including scheduling and eligibility, please call the CCRTA Reservation Line at 361-289-5881.
