Residents attending the JD Vance rally today in Lindale should prepare for increased traffic and potential delays. The Rome Transit Department has warned of much heavier traffic affecting bus routes 2A and 2B, with buses serving stops near Maple Street at 19th Street. These routes are expected to experience delays due to the large crowd expected for the event.
The Details: JD Vance, the Republican Vice Presidential nominee, is speaking at The Mill in Lindale. The event begins at 1 p.m. but doors have already opened. Vance is set to address key issues such as illegal immigration and border security. This is part of his broader campaign alongside Donald Trump for the 2024 election.
How You Can Plan: For those planning to attend, it’s recommended to arrive early, as traffic around Maple Street and the 19th Street bus stop is likely to be congested. Bus 2A and 2B are scheduled at 4 and 12 minutes past the hour respectively, but expect delays. Rome Transit has added support vehicles to help manage the anticipated surge in passengers.
Attendees who have not yet registered will not be able to join the event as pre-registration was required.
