CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — The CCRTA offers free rides on Election Day (Nov. 7). Riders should tell their Bus Operator that they’re going to/coming from voting to ride fare-free.
“Our goal is to reduce transportation and financial constraints as barriers to voting. We can be your ride to vote with fare-free rides November 7th for Election Day,” said Derrick Majchszak, CCRTA CEO.
Early voting for the November 7 election, which includes 14 state propositions, began Oct. 23 and ended November 3.
Voters across Texas will head to the polls on Nov. 7 to decide the fate of propositions on this year's ballot covering numerous topics, including farming, child care, net worth taxes, valorem taxation, higher education, electric facilities, cost of living adjustments, and state parks, to name a few.
Residents in Robstown will vote on a city council race, while residents out in Ingleside and Tuloso-Midway will vote on several school district proposals.

The citizens of the city of Corpus Christi will vote on Proposition A, which is focused on replacing the expiring Type A sales and use taxes by adopting a sales and use tax at the rate of 1/4 of 1% (being 0.250 cents per $1 ), maintaining the same sales and use tax rate that now exists within the City. If Proposition A proceeds, the taxes will be used for the construction, renovation, maintenance, and operations of Regional Parks, commercial/industrial streets, the Convention Center Complex, and more destination flights at Corpus Christi International Airport.
