BUFFALO — Liberty Cab and the Clean Air Coalition are teaming up to offer free transportation for Buffalo and Town of Tonawanda residents that need to get to the polls on election day.

“I think it’s important that everyone gets out to vote,” said Liberty Cab owner Bill Yuhnke. “Don’t let the lack of transportation stop you.”

“We are thrilled that Liberty Cab is giving such a tremendous service to the community and supporting residents excise their right to vote.” said Rebecca Newberry, director of Clean Air Coalition. “For people who are under immense family, work or financial pressure, having a convenient ride to the polls can mean the difference between voting and staying at home. Liberty Cab is providing a great community service on election day.”

This partnership formed with the help of the Canisius College Communication and Leadership Graduate program, which is designed to provide students the resources to refine their communication and leadership skills in the workplace. Jennifer Kilo, Carrie Patterson, and Valerie Petty collaborated with Clean Air Coalition and Liberty Cab as part of a class project to help get out the vote this election year.

Residents can take advantage of this service by calling Liberty Cab at 716-877-7111 and using the code LibertyRide2Vote. This service is not affiliated with any political party or campaign.

Polls will be open Tuesday from 6 a.m. – 9 p.m.
