I-Ride offers free rides to polling locations
From Feb. 17 until Sunday, Feb. 25, I-Ride, a local transportation service, will offer free rides to and from polling locations for early in-person voting in Isabella County.
On Tuesday, Feb. 27, election day, I-Ride will extend its services to transport voters to and from their voting precincts.
Tina Hilderbrand, the transportation coordinator for I-Ride, said this is something the organization has done for the community before.
“We have provided free rides to the polls for quite a few years now,” she said.
Passengers wanting a ride to the polls should call the organization’s ride line at (989) 772-9441 at least 24 hours in advance to schedule a ride to their particular polling location.
I-Ride’s operating hours are as follows:
- Monday-Friday: 6 a.m. to midnight
- Saturday: 6:30 a.m. to midnight
- Sunday: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Ride Line will open half an hour prior to the start of I-Ride’s operating hours.
