The City of Charlottesville announced last night that, in order to provide reliable transportation to the polls for all residents, CTS rides on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 will be free. That announcement was issued by Mayor Dave Norris at last night’s City Council meeting. As has been publicized, a record turnout is expected on Election Day and parking challenges may develop as a result of this interest particularly at the Downtown, Alumni, Venable, and Tonsler polling precincts. Residents are encouraged to carpool to the polls, arrive during non-peak hours such as the mid morning and afternoon, or take free public transportation. City staff is currently arranging for additional parking and safe transport to polling locations that may see the most pressing parking challenges.

For more information residents are urged to call 970-3250 or log onto www.charlottesville.org/vote
