CAT & MST VOTER SHUTTLE
From their press release:
Concord Area Transit (CAT) and Mid-State Transit (MST), services of Community Action Program Belknap Merrimack Counties, Inc., are pleased to announce they are adding a special Voter Shuttle Service to help residents within the service region get to the polls on November 8 for the general election!
CAT and MST shuttle bus services will be available on November 8 to help residents get to the polls. This service will pick up individuals from their requested pick-up location, drop off at their polling location and will return a short time later for the return trip making it very convenient to get out and vote this election cycle. This service is available to any voting age individual going to the polls in Belknap and Merrimack Counties on Election Day.
Community Action Program Belknap Merrimack Counties Inc. (CAPBMCI) Transportation Director, Terri Paige said about this special service program, “The CAPBM Transportation Program is committed to being an active partner in the communities that we serve. By providing this free transportation service, in the communities where our buses are located, so that citizens can access their polling sites to vote is a natural fit for us. We are excited to roll this new service option out this year and look forward to welcoming voters on board!”
Call any time before 2:30 p.m. Monday, November 7 to schedule the service by calling our call center at 603-225-1989. You will receive a call the afternoon before the general election with the pickup time window. For residents living along the CAT bus route with a polling location also along the route, our mobility manager can help plan the trip on our regular bus service.
