Ride347 Offers Free Election Day Rides to the Polls
Maricopa-based airport courier Ride347 is offering Maricopa voters a free ride to the polls on Primary Election Day, July 30.
Ride347 co-owner Lori Riley confirmed that the city’s sole airport shuttle service will continue trips to Phoenix Sky Harbor. However, an additional van will be deployed specifically for transporting voters.
“I heard some seniors in town were struggling to get to the polls or drop off their ballots, so I wanted to offer the service,” said Riley. “Voting is crucial, and I want to ensure everyone’s vote is counted.”
Riley extended the offer beyond seniors, welcoming anyone needing transportation for in-person voting or ballot drop-off. She urged residents to call or text her company from now until Election Day to arrange pick-ups from homes or public places within the city.
“There’s no set time or schedule. I’m going wherever they need,” Riley added.
The contact number for scheduling a ride is 602-828-0826.
