Arndt said in a news release. “We’re proud to ensure that transportation isn’t an obstacle for casting a ballot.”
The complimentary service is available for bus, VIA Link, and VIAtrans paratransit service throughout the VIA service area on Saturday.Voters can visit any Bexar County polling site to cast a ballot on election day. Polling sites will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
