Free rides: Oct. 19, Oct. 26, Nov. 5

NEW ORLEANS – This year, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is making it easier than ever for our riders to vote, waiving fares on the two Saturdays of the early voting period (Oct. 19, Oct. 26) as well as on Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 5). Riders can ride at no charge on all RTA buses, streetcars, and ferries. Riders will not need to show proof of voter registration or any RTA passes.

These services are provided as part of the agency’s commitment to transit equity, including waiving fares on the birthdays of Civil Rights icons Rosa Parks (Feb. 4) and Claudette Colvin (Sept. 5), respectively.

For more information, visit norta.com or call RIDELINE at (504) 248-3900. Riders can also visit norta.com/servicealerts for any service updates and download the Le Pass app at norta.com/LePass to plan routes and purchase fares.
