LIHUE, Hawaii — The Kauai Bus announced in a news release Monday that it will offer free bus service island wide on Election Day.

The initiative is in line with national efforts to provide accessible transportation on election days, with the aim of ensuring that all voters have the opportunity to cast a ballot without transportation barriers. To that end, both fixed and ADA paratransit services will be free to all passengers on Nov. 5.

“Passengers across the island can take advantage of the free service throughout the day, whether traveling to polling stations or for other essential trips,” said Transportation Agency Executive Celia Mahikoa. “We encourage all residents to take part in the election process and utilize the Kauai Bus for a safe and accessible ride to the polls.”
