Ways to get a ride
Start with a phone call. These services are run by nonprofits, local agencies and people you know, and each sets its own rules, so confirm details when you book.
Your local Area Agency on Aging
Many Area Agencies on Aging and senior centers arrange rides for older adults. The federal Eldercare Locator can connect you with yours. You can call or text.
Call 2-1-1
A free, confidential line that connects you with local help, including volunteer and community ride programs near you.
Buses and door-to-door paratransit
Some transit agencies offer free rides on Election Day, and paratransit services can pick you up at your door. Call your local transit agency, or ask 2-1-1 who runs service near you.
Paratransit trips often need to be booked a day ahead, so call early.
Ask someone you trust
A family member, neighbor, friend or your place of worship may be glad to drive you. Ask a few days ahead and agree on a pickup time.
Rather talk to a person?
Both of these lines are free. Tell them you need a ride to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
At the polls
- Ask for help. Poll workers can help you check in and use the voting equipment.
- Use an accessible machine. Every polling place in a federal election must have at least one voting machine for voters with disabilities.
- Bring a helper. If you need help because of a disability or trouble reading or writing, federal law lets you bring someone you choose, other than your employer or union representative.
- Can’t get there? Ask your county election office about curbside voting or other options. They vary by state.
- Check your ID rules. Your state election website lists what to bring.
Stay safe
- Check before you get in. Make sure the car and driver match what you were told.
- Share your trip. Let a family member or friend know when you leave and when you get home.
- Protect your information. Never give a driver your Social Security, Medicare or bank numbers.
- Your vote is yours. No real ride service will ask how you plan to vote.
Helping a parent, neighbor or friend?
- Set up the ride for them. Call 2-1-1 or the Eldercare Locator together, or ask them to name you as the contact for the ride.
- Look up their polling place together using the ZIP code search above.
- Fill out the plan below and leave a printed copy by their phone.
- Call ahead if they need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or extra time.
