COAST to offer free rides on Election Day

posted on 11/3/2022

COAST will offer free rides to anyone on their way to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

While the COAST public transit system does not provide transportation to each individual polling station directly, their hope is to encourage voters to get to the polls and participate in voting by eliminating the barrier of transportation costs.

All passengers need to do is tell their driver that they are on their way to vote, or on the way back from voting, and they will not be charged for the ride. COAST will be following an honor system.

Not sure where your polling place is? See the 2022 General Election page, or visit the Secretary of State's website at https://app.sos.nh.gov/viphome.

ADA, Route 7 On-Demand, and Portsmouth Senior Transportation Clients: Please call TripLink for details 603-834-6010. Should there be capacity constraints for trips to the polls on these specific services, COAST may offer alternative travel times throughout the day.

The Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation (COAST) has provided public transit service to the Seacoast New Hampshire region since 1982. COAST is a non-profit agency, operating a regional public transit system that relies primarily on federal and local government support to operate. COAST is governed by a board of directors representing the communities served, two regional planning commissions, and many local and state agencies. COAST’s vision is to be an innovative leader in providing a broad range of public transportation services, connecting, and coordinating a robust network of transportation options for everyone.
