CAR2Vote provides nonpartisan transportation assistance for voters in the Charlottesville/Albemarle region of Central Virginia.
We provide transportation for caucuses, primaries, on Election Day, and during the early absentee voting period. We also provide transportation for those who need to obtain a photo ID before voting. We have provided assistance to more than 700 voters over several years.
Our volunteers are dedicated to the idea that all those who want to vote should be empowered to do so, regardless of their circumstances or preferences. Our drivers provide rides to all those who request one and don't ask for whom the rider is voting.
There are many voting opportunities facing us in 2020, especially for Democrats; Republicans are using conventions, not primaries this time.
Voters who need rides in Charlottesville city, the University of Virginia community, and Albemarle County can sign up using the "Need a Ride" form or by calling 434-260-1547. If you need to leave a message, we'll call you back.
Volunteer drivers--Know that the BEST thing you can do if you're supporting a candidate or an issue is to get out and canvass or call voters. We set up CAR2Vote primarily to give those who aren't able to canvass or call another way to help. Our volunteer slots fill quickly, but we know we'll need a lot of volunteers. We can also use volunteers to help us spread the word. Email us if you're interested in helping through the year, connecting us with organizations and communities that might be interested.
For those looking for another way of helping ensure voting rights, you might be interested in the local Protect the Vote program.
