October 6, 2020

Ridesharing company Uber is teaming with Pizza to the Polls, a non-profit, to send out 180 food trucks across the U.S. to offer up everything from chicken to donuts to voters.

The trucks will park wherever they see long voting lines starting on October 24, according to a Travel and Leisure report, and stay on the road through Election Day.

"At Uber Eats, we're always thinking about meeting people where they are by delivering the food they love when they need it most," Elspeth Rollert, the head of partnership marketing at Uber Eats, told the news outlet. "Thanks to a variety of our restaurant partners, we're celebrating civic engagement and delivering free food to people at polling locations with long lines."

The trucks will offer up a variety of fares across the country in over a dozen different cities. In New York, there will be the Pizza Loves Emily truck, in Houston the truck will be Voodoo Doughnut, according to the report.

Uber is offering a 50% off discount on polling location rides.
