OctoTwo free RTD fare days meant to encourage voter turnout in Denver areaīy Sara Wilson, Colorado Newsline October 20, 2022 Two free RTD fare days meant to encourage voter turnout in Denver area Voters can use to find their nearest voting center and use RTD’s trip planner to figure out the best navigation route. “With this initiative, the playing field is being leveled so that registered voters can exercise their constitutional right.” “While data shows that mail ballot voting has significantly increased voter turnout in Colorado, providing systemwide zero-fare transit access on general election days further reduces barriers to polling places,” RTD General Manager and CEO Debra Johnson said in a statement. The zero fare days will help those voters get to a polling place if they do not have a car or other reliable transportation. Voting centers will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. In person voting, however, is important for people who register late and don’t receive a ballot in the mail in time, people who may have lost their mail-in ballot, and people who simply prefer to cast their vote in person. The vast majority of Colorado voters cast their ballots via mail - about 1.2 million people voted by mail during the June primary and about 15,000 people voted in person.
