Moldovans with locomotor deficiencies to enjoy free transport in runoff too

Chisinau, 9 November /MOLDPRES/ – People with locomotor deficiencies will benefit also of free transportation to go to vote in runoff of the presidential elections.

The action will take place within the project on social policies for achieving electoral rights for persons with disabilities.

To qualify for social taxi, persons with physical problems must call between 09.00 a.m. – 18.00 hours, on phones: 022-661-393 or 067 300 450, at least one hour before the scheduled departure time.

Requested by the agency, the Executive Director of Association "MOTIVATIE" (Motivation) in Moldova Igor Meriacre said that in the first round only activated a specially equipped car, which provided transportation services for travel from home to the polling station and return. "On 30 October, the dispatcher registered twelve phone calls, out of which, unfortunately, it was possible to realize only eight, that is the reason why for the runoff it will be provided one more vehicle to manage the transportation of more persons," said Meriacre.

The social taxi service is free and is available only in the area of ​​Chisinau municipality. "We limit ourselves just only to Chisinau, as going to other cities would require more time, additional expenses and transportation of fewer persons. Within the capital area, the voters will be transported to polling stations in groups according to the sector in which they live," said Meriacre.

Project costs will be covered by the Alliance INFONET and "MOTIVATIE" (Motivation) Association from Moldova.
