Free rides in Ingham, Eaton and Clinton counties give voters access to register, vote early through Nov. 5
LANSING, Mich., Oct. 2 — To eliminate transportation barriers and ensure voter access, the tri-county region’s three transit agencies – CATA, EATRAN and Clinton Transit – are offering systemwide free rides now through the Nov. 5 state general election for riders registering to vote, participating in early voting, dropping off ballots at drop boxes and voting in-person on Election Day.
“Transit systems in the tri-county region have long supported voter-access initiatives,” said Bradley T. Funkhouser, CATA CEO and EATRAN executive director. “Transportation barriers are a threat to democracy. We’re committed to removing those barriers.”
Need a ride to register or vote? Simply inform your driver that you are going to vote, and your ride is free — no ID required. For a list of early voting locations, ballot drop boxes and polling sites, visit www.michigan.gov/vote. Riders will also find voting sites and can plan their trips for election-related activities via Transit app. Download the app today from your app store.
Trips on CATA’s Spec-Tran and Rural Service must be scheduled by 5 p.m. the day before a rider plans to vote. Same-day rides are not available for these services. CATA recommends that all Redi-Ride trips to vote be scheduled a day in advance. Demand-response rides can be arranged by calling 517-394-2282.
EATRAN riders must reserve trips to and from Eaton County’s early voting locations, ballot drop boxes and polling centers by calling 517-543-4087 no later than 5 p.m. the day before they plan to vote.
Clinton Transit voters should call 989-224-8127 or use the Clinton Transit mobile app to schedule a ride at least a day in advance. Scheduling hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Visit www.cata.org/vote, www.eatran.com or www.mybluebus.com for additional information regarding free rides.

Wow, summer is almost gone! I hope you’ve been able to enjoy our summer here in Eaton Rapids! We have many events coming this fall and will have more details as they get closer, but here is a quick summary:
Some of you may have heard but if not, we are bringing back Urban Air! I want to thank Kirk MacKellar who, after a long hiatus, asked us if we would be interested in doing this again, and of course we said YES! This won’t happen until October 2025, but it will take time to plan. We are looking for people that would like to help us plan, so if you are interested, please reach out to me. You do not need to be a resident of the City, as this is a community event so even if you live in the townships, we’d love to have your participation. If you are not sure what this is, it’s a festival of Air Streams that will camp out on our Main Street for a weekend. There will be lots of other activities including food and entertainment, so watch for more information as it comes together.
Labor Day is coming up, so enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and stay safe!
Mayor Pam Colestock
