Knoxville Area Transit to Offer Free Rides on Election Day

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Knoxville Area Transit, better known as KAT, will be offering free rides for Election Day.

KAT offers the service each election cycle. This year, all transit rides, from buses to KAT’s Lift service (for those with disabilities), will be fare-free.

Officials with KAT say the move is aimed at making sure anyone and everyone can get to the polls.

“Election Day is a critical moment for our community to come together and make their voices heard,” Director of Transit Isaac Thorne said. “By offering free rides across our system, we’re helping to make that process as accessible as possible for everyone. I encourage all Knoxville residents to take advantage of this opportunity to get to the polls and participate in our shared future.”
