The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Ride On Bus service has routes to take residents to early voting centers, according to a press release from the county government. Several Metrobus routes also serve early voting centers.
County Executive Marc Elrich said as many as a quarter of households within the county’s urban areas have no access to a vehicle. He also stressed the importance of highlighting the bus routes that serve the early voting centers.
“Lack of access to transportation should not be a barrier to voting,” Elrich said. “Our bus system is imperative to ensure that all residents have access to voting centers regardless of where they live and their socio-economic status.”
Here are the following Ride On and Metrobus routes that serve early voting centers:
- Wheaton Library and Community Center (Route 9 and 31)
