STAR Transit is offering free, round-trip rides to local polling places in Rockwall County for early and Election Day voting.
Early voting free rides will be available weekdays through Oct. 31. Free rides on Election Day will be available on Nov. 4.
All STAR Transit services, including Demand Response, Fixed Routes and STARNow are eligible for this offer. To ride free, tell the bus operator or reservationist you are riding to and from the polls or use the code Vote2025 on the STARNow App.
“We’re proud to support our community and offer free rides to vote,” said Tommy Henricks, STAR Transit executive director. “Voting is one of the most important ways to have your voice heard and we’re here to help get you to the polls – no fare required.”
Rides are subject to availability and must be in the STAR Transit service area or STARNow zone. Free rides are only available to voters traveling to and from the polls.
To schedule a free ride to vote, call STAR Transit at least 30 minutes in advance of the desired trip. Scheduling agents are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at (877) 631-5278. To book a STARNow ride, download the STARNow app free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
