Union Cab of Madison Cooperative
Union Cab of Madison Cooperative will provide free rides to and from polling places for Dane County voters and poll workers on Tuesday, April 7, during the Spring Election. The service is offered through Democracy in Motion, Union Cab’s long-running Election Day transportation program.
Founded in 1998, Democracy in Motion helps remove transportation barriers that can prevent people from voting or serving as poll workers. The program is available throughout Election Day until polls close and serves communities across Dane County, including Madison, Fitchburg, Middleton, the Village of Shorewood, the Village of Maple Bluff and the Town of Madison.
Union Cab’s fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vehicles, ensuring that voters and poll workers with mobility needs can travel safely and comfortably to and from their polling locations.
How to request a ride: Voters should call 608-242-2000 on Election Day when they are ready to travel from home to their polling place or from their polling place back home and ask for a “Democracy in Motion” ride. Riders who need a wheelchair-accessible vehicle should mention that when booking. Poll workers are welcome to schedule rides in advance.
Election Day information: Tuesday, April 7, during polling hours, 7 am–8 pm.
Voters are encouraged to verify their polling location in advance.
About Union Cab: Union Cab of Madison Cooperative is a worker-owned transportation cooperative founded in 1979 and committed to providing reliable, accessible transportation while serving the broader community.
