The Rapid offers bus rides for voters on Election Day

In an effort to amplify accessibility for all citizens, The Rapid will be providing free rides to and from the polls on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

If you need a ride to vote, The Rapid has you covered. On November 7, 2023, we'll give you a ride to vote on any of our bus routes. You just need to tell us you are going to vote or returning home from voting.

We recommend double-checking where you are registered to save you from unnecessary trips.

How to Check Where You Are Registered

  1. On Election Day, you have to vote in the precinct where you're registered.
  2. Visit mi.gov/vote to find out where you vote.
  3. Under "Your voter information", select "Where is my polling place?"
  4. Type in your details to look up your voter registration. 
  5. Under "Your polling location", the name and address of your precinct are shown.
