UH Bikes, Lyft & Uber Offering Free or Discounted Rides to Polling Locations

More than 1.2 million Ohioans have requested absentee ballots, as early voting ahead of Tuesday's election gains momentum. 

Voters have until noon Saturday to request an absentee ballot by mail from their county board of elections. 

Early in-person voting continues through Monday.

The Pew Research Center tells us that one of the reasons people cite for not voting is transportation.

Ride share programs such as UH Bikes, Lyft and Uber are helping to combat that.
