Ride to the Polls serves New Hampshire voters who need transportation to their polling place. You can explain any mobility, communication, or service-animal need when you submit your request. The service is designed with voters 55 and over in mind, but it is available to all voters.



You may request assistance if you:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Use a wheelchair</li>



<li>Use a walker, cane, or another mobility aid</li>



<li>Travel with a service animal</li>



<li>Have a vision-related need</li>



<li>Have a hearing-related need</li>



<li>Need confirmation by phone</li>



<li>Are arranging transportation for a parent, spouse, neighbor, or another voter</li>
</ul>



A family member, caregiver, or neighbor may submit a request on a voter’s behalf. The voter should know that the ride is being requested and should be comfortable sharing the information dispatch needs to arrange it.

Who can request an accessible ride?

The most helpful thing you can do is describe the voter’s needs clearly when requesting the ride. That gives dispatch time to determine what kind of vehicle and driver may be suitable.



Use plain, specific language. For example, tell dispatch whether the voter:

Tell dispatch what you need.

Having the following details ready can make the request easier:

Accessible ride request checklist

Ride to the Polls uses two service tracks in New Hampshire:

Which type of ride will you receive?

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Call <a href="tel:8336038683">833-603-8683</a> or submit the form at <a href="https://tpaction.com/ride" data-type="link" data-id="https://tpaction.com/ride">Request Your Free Ride Online</a> with your name, phone, pickup address, and polling place.</li>



<li>Dispatch confirms your ride and your track (private driver or Uber voucher), along with your polling location and its hours.</li>



<li>On Election Day, you get your driver’s name and vehicle, or your voucher.</li>
</ul>



When completing the request, add the voter’s accessibility information at the same time. Do not wait until the driver arrives to mention a wheelchair, service animal, communication need, or other detail that could affect the arrangement.



If a caregiver or family member submits the form, provide the voter’s contact information and state who should receive confirmation. A voter who does not use a smartphone can receive confirmation by phone.

How to request your ride

Submitting the form begins the matching process. It is not the final confirmation of a particular vehicle or pickup time.



Dispatch reviews the information, determines which ride track applies, and considers the needs included in the request. If dispatch needs more information, someone may contact the voter or the person who submitted the request.



Keep the provided phone available and respond to any follow-up questions. Missing details can make it harder to confirm that the planned ride fits the voter’s needs.



Before Election Day, confirm:

What happens after you request

Mention wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and service animals when requesting a ride. This allows dispatch to consider the space, vehicle, and communication requirements involved.



For a wheelchair, explain whether it folds and whether the voter needs to remain in it during transportation. Dispatch must confirm a suitable arrangement because vehicle features are not guaranteed for every ride.



For a walker or cane, say that the device will travel with the voter. If the equipment requires extra storage space, include that detail.



If a service animal will accompany the voter, note it in the request. This information helps dispatch prepare the ride and reduces last-minute confusion.



Ride to the Polls should confirm the transportation arrangement before the voter relies on it. Do not infer that a specific lift, ramp, van, or form of physical assistance will be available unless dispatch expressly confirms it.

Mobility equipment and service animals

A smartphone is not required to request an accessible ride. You can call <a href="tel:8336038683">833-603-8683</a>, and we can confirm by phone when that is the appropriate method for the voter.



If the voter has a hearing-related need, explain the preferred communication method in the request. Include a reliable contact number and, when appropriate, identify a caregiver or family member who may receive scheduling information with the voter’s knowledge.



If the voter has a vision-related need, ask dispatch to provide clear pickup information. The voter should know the driver’s name and vehicle details before entering a vehicle.

Communication needs

A voter may need a spouse, caregiver, family member, or trusted companion to travel with them. Include that request when arranging the ride rather than assuming an additional seat will be available.



Provide:

Riding with a caregiver or companion

Request the ride as soon as the voter knows they&#8217;ll need transportation. Accessibility requests may require more coordination than a standard trip, particularly when the rider uses mobility equipment, travels with another person, or needs a specific communication method.



No fixed advance-notice deadline for an accessible vehicle has been confirmed. Calling early gives dispatch more time to review the request, ask questions, and explain the available arrangement.



If Election Day is close, submit the request anyway and contact dispatch. Availability may be limited, but dispatch can tell you whether a suitable option remains.
