Need A Ride to the Polls? Call Lacey Transportation Company

Those in Lacey who may need transportation to the polls, especially following Hurricane Sandy, can contact Lacey Transportation Company, which will be providing free rides.

Owner Jeffrey McElwee has been providing this service for presidential elections since 1992. The service is for those registered voters who have no other means to get to the polls.

Lacey Transportation Company’s vehicles cover most of Ocean County with the highest volume of service between Toms River and Stafford Townships, a statement from the company said.

“When you call Lacey Transportation the dispatcher will take some information in order to arrange a taxi,” the statement said. “In most cases the dispatcher will try and accommodate you and another rider going to the same polling station.”

A driver will then arrive at your curb, the statement said. The taxi does not have provisions for wheelchair accessibility.

The company’s drivers will wait at the polling station and then transport you back home.

Lacey Transportation is open until 9 p.m. Polls close at 8 p.m.

“We cover a large area and should be able to do this for anyone that calls,“ McElwee said.

Call 609-693-2939 for the services or more information.
