选举日去投票可免费乘车：河滨交通局全线参与，上车告诉司机即可
加利福尼亚州河滨县的选民11月3日选举日出门投票可以免票乘车：河滨交通局（Riverside Transit Agency, RTA）宣布，选举日当天，前往或离开投票站的乘客可免费搭乘该局的本地公交、CommuterLink 快线、GoMicro 微公交与 Dial-A-Ride 预约巴士。
乘车方式很简单：固定线路巴士的乘客上车时告诉司机自己是去投票或刚投完票，即可免费乘车；使用 Dial-A-Ride 预约服务的乘客，在电话预约行程时向调度员说明是去投票站或从投票站返回即可。河滨交通局市场部主任 Christine Ramsey 在10月28日的公开会议上确认了这一安排。
河滨交通局表示，这项安排的目的是让河滨县西部地区的居民更容易抵达投票站，减少交通因素对投票的阻碍。该局服务范围覆盖河滨县西部多座城市与社区，选举日各线路按平日时刻表运行。
Free Rides to the Polls on Election Day: Riverside Transit Agency Waives Fares for Voters
Voters in Riverside County, California, can ride free to the polls on Election Day, November 3: the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) announced that passengers traveling to or from polling places on Election Day will ride free on its local buses, CommuterLink express buses, GoMicro microtransit and Dial-A-Ride paratransit services.
Boarding is simple: fixed-route riders tell the driver they are going to vote or have just voted, and ride free. Dial-A-Ride passengers should tell the operator when scheduling their trip by phone that they are traveling to or from the polls. RTA Director of Marketing Christine Ramsey confirmed the arrangement at a public meeting on October 28.
RTA said the promotion is meant to make voting more accessible for residents across western Riverside County by removing transportation as a barrier. The agency serves cities and communities across the western part of the county, and its Election Day services will run on regular schedules.
