All things transportation on Election Day
Todo sobre el transporte en el día de las elecciones ¿Necesita que lo lleven a votar? Hay múltiples opciones para ayudar a los votantes de Athens a llegar a los centros de votación este año. La organización “The People’s Agenda” está ofreciendo transporte a los centros de votación para los votantes que la necesitan. Su sitio web, https://economicjusticecoalition. org/voter-guide/get-a-ride-to-vote/, incluye un formulario que los votantes deben completar con anticipación para poder conseguir transporte. El formulario incluye un espacio para que los votantes indiquen si tienen discapacidades u otras necesidades. Las personas también pueden ofrecerse como voluntarios para ser conductores. Este es un programa con sede en Atlanta que funciona en todo el estado. Los sistemas de autobús del condado de Athens-Clarke funcionarán como de costumbre en el día de las elecciones. La organización “Wheels of Hope” ofrece transportar a los individuos discapacitados físicamente, con discapacidad visual o que no pueden conducir por motivos de salud. Este programa con sede en Athens incluye un proceso de solicitud para recibir servicios. Los conductores permanecerán con los clientes, así que no tendrán que preocuparse por que los dejen y los tengan que volver a recoger. No hay ningún cargo por los servicios.
