NACA’s “ROLL-to-th

CAMPAIGN TAKES OVER 25,000 VOTE

By Community Weekly Report News Provider

N

ACA’s historic “Roll-to-the-Polls” campaign has seen an outstanding response during its first week and participation continues to grow as Election Day gets closer.

The demand in the Houston area has been so large that rides have been extended to Montgomery, Fort Bend, Waller and Jefferson counties.

More than 25,000 voters in the Houston and the Atlanta region have been safely transported to the polls by NACA’s fleet of over 150 fifteenseat vans. People have been calling 888-4956222 or going to the NACA website (www.naca. com) days in advance to make sure they can secure a ride. In fact, many have already scheduled their ride up through Election Day, November 3rd. Response has been so strong that additional vans have been added to the original 50 in the Houston fleet, which is based at Greenhouse International Church on 200 W. Greens Road in Houston.

NACA and Greenhouse International Church have joined together to create the largest coordinated effort ever in Houston to ensure that thousands of Houston area voters now have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote and have their voices heard.

ERS TO THE POLLS

“Our first ten days have gone extremely well. Our ridership is growing daily, and we anticipate that trend to continue all the way through Election Day,” according to NACA CEO Bruce Marks. “We are seeing greater demand in areas where public transportation has not been readily available. Large numbers of seniors are also asking for rides after learning that each van is thoroughly sanitized after each run and the number of passengers is limited to enforce social distancing while on board. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks and gloves, is also provided along with sanitizing materials.”

Rides are available from 8:00 am until the polls close each day through the end of Early Voting on October 30 and again on Election Day, November 3rd.

Rides will also be available to the 24Hour locations on October 29th.

To schedule a ride to the polls, please contact (346) 204-5712 or text (832) 398-1857.
