🗳 KSU USG drives home the point

United Student Government at Kent State University has partnered with PARTA to encourage students to vote this November.

A newly wrapped PARTA bus sporting bold graphics went into service on the Kent State campus Thursday, October 1. It features the USG logo, web address, and the message "Your vote. Your voice."

A Kent State student and member of USG who also drives for PARTA came up with the idea for the wrap. Another Kent State student designed the graphics.

Look for the bus on campus and don't forget to vote!
