NORFOLK, Va. — It's Election Day, and Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) is offering free rides across its services to help voters get to the polls Tuesday.

The fare-free day applies to all HRT buses, light rail, ferry, Paratransit and OnDemand rideshare services throughout the Hampton Roads region.

"It’s something we’ve been doing now for about four or five years, and we’ve definitely noticed an uptick in ridership on those days," said HRT communications manager Thomas Becher. "We’re happy to do that as a way to keep the barriers away from voting."

Voters can check their polling locations and election details through the Virginia Department of Elections , then use HRT’s system map to plan their trips.

Election Day is one of four free fare days offered by the agency. Other free ride dates
