Knoxville, TN – July 29, 2024 – To support voter turnout and ensure easy access to polling stations, Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) will offer fare-free rides throughout Election Day, Thursday, August 1, 2024.

“Access to transportation is crucial for voter participation,” said Isaac Thorne, Director of Transit for the City of Knoxville. “We want to remove any barriers that might prevent people from getting to the polls.”
