FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Fredericksburg Regional Transit (FRED) buses will be fare-free on Election Day, Nov. 3, as a way to help get people to the polls.
Free fares on Election Day will be available for all riders in FRED’s service area, which includes the city of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania County and Stafford County.
“Not having access to transportation or having to bear the burden of an additional transit fare should not be a barrier to voting,” Jamie Jackson, director of public transit for the city of Fredericksburg, said Thursday. “We are a community partner and support our riders who choose to ride our regional transit system every day.”
