LINCOLN
- Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois (CAPCIL) and
Logan Mason Public Transportation (LMPT) will be offering FREE rides
to the polls on February 28th, 2017 between the hours of
7:30 am and 6pm.

CAPCIL and LMPT believe that no one should
miss the opportunity to participate in an election because
transportation is inaccessible. Both polling places, Lincoln
Christian Church and Jefferson Street Christian Church, will be
added to the flex route for the day to allow individuals the
opportunity to vote. An on demand service will also be available for
rides to the polling locations. If individuals wish to utilize the
on demand service they are encouraged to RSVP their preferred ride
time by February 27th, 2017. LMPT will accept calls for
rides to the polls on February 28th, however a specific time
preference might not be available. For a list of the pickup
locations, individuals can access them online at CAPCIL’s website at
www.capcil.info/transportation.
It is the mission of CAPCIL, in partnership
with communities in our service area, to empower persons with low
income and the aged by creating and implementing poverty-fighting
initiatives for those in crisis and those that endeavor a life of
lasting independence. LMPT is partially funded by The United Way of
Logan County, Area Agency on Aging for Lincolnland, and IDOT. For
more information about CAPCIL or LMPT you can visit their website at
