BJCTA MAX Transit Announces Complimentary Rides to voting polls for Election Day
Birmingham, AL – October 30, 2024 – MAX Transit is excited to announce its free bus service for the upcoming Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. This service will provide convenient transportation for riders the entire day on fixed route, the Magic City Connector and the Birmingham Xpress (BRT).
Passengers can utilize fixed-route buses, the Magic City Connector, or the Birmingham Xpress to reach their designated polling places without any fare. This complimentary service includes paratransit but excludes MAX On-Demand, BJCTA’s micro transit service. This initiative aims to eliminate transportation barriers and encourage civic engagement among residents of Birmingham and Jefferson County.
“We believe that access to transportation should never be a barrier to exercising one’s right to vote,” said Amanda Hare, Marketing & Communications Manager. “By offering free rides on Election Day, we hope to make it easier for our community members to make their voices heard.” For more information about routes and schedules, please visit the BJCTA website at maxtransit.org or contact their customer service at 205.521.0101.
