INDIANAPOLIS — IndyGo announced Friday it will provide free rides on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8.

The service, which applies for both fixed-route and IndyGo Access and lasts until 10 p.m., will be provided by AARP Indiana in partnership with the IndyGo Foundation.

"Election Day is a critically important time for us in this country," IndyGo President and CEO Inez Evans said in a statement. "Transportation should never be a barrier for those taking advantage of their civic duty. That's why IndyGo and its partners worked to ensure no one has to worry about how they will get to the polls to make their voice heard."

IndyGo said riders can plan their trips using the Transit app, the MyStop app, Google Maps, or by visiting indygo.com/plan-your-trip.

"This partnership is just one piece of a sustained effort to make it easier to understand when, where and how to vote," said Addison Pollock, AARP Indiana director of community engagement. "We're proud to partner with IndyGo to provide free fares to riders on Election Day."
