Toledo: To encourage residents to vote in the March 4, 2008 Ohio Presidential Primary Election, the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority’s Board of Trustees on February 21 unanimously approved free transit service on March 4.

“Our board wanted to ensure all voters in the nine communities and townships TARTA serves have the ability to get to the polls and vote for the candidates and issues of their choice,” said James K. Gee, TARTA’s general manager. 

The offer of free rides covered TARTA’s regular service along with the suburban Call-A-Ride service and service for the physically challenged supplied by the Toledo Area Regional Paratransit Service.
