RICHLAND, Wash.-The Ben-Franklin Transit will offer free rides on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The free rides are a way to help ensure all community members who are eligible to vote can get to the polls or to drop-box locations to drop off their ballots, according to the BFT.

Fare-free services will be available all day on fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride paratransit services.

“We want everyone in our service area to have the opportunity to make their voices heard by turning in their ballots,” said BFT Chief Executive Officer Thomas Drozt.

A map of ballot drop-box locations and routes to access them are available online through the BFT.
