Buses will run extended hours on Election Day

COLUMBIA, MO (November 1, 2012) - Columbia Transit bus routes will run extended hours until 8:45pm on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Fixed route service regularly ends by 6:30pm Monday through Wednesday. This is the first year extended hours have been offered to aid voters. 

"We've extended the hours to give riders more opportunity to travel to and from their polling place on Election Day," said Transportation Administrator, Drew Brooks. "You vote; we'll drive." 

There are 36 local polling places serviced by Columbia Transit routes, including the two central polling locations, Boone County Government Center and UMC Student Center. If individuals need help matching their polling place to a bus route, they can call Columbia Transit customer service at 573-874-7282 or visit www.gocolumbiamo.com/PublicWorks/Transportation. 

A map showing polling locations on or near bus routes is attached. 

If individuals are unsure of their assigned polling place, they can call the County Clerk's office at (573) 886-4375 or visit http://www.showmeboone.com/CLERK/.
