For the eighth consecutive year, the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will honor those who served our nation by providing free rides to U.S. military veterans, active-duty military and members of the National Guard and Reserves all day Wednesday, November 11. Offering free transit across MTA’s fixed-route services is a sign of thanks from the Moore-Miller Administration to our nation’s military personnel for the sacrifices made by military members and their families.
“The MTA is proud to again provide a small token of our thanks to our veterans and military personnel by providing them free rides on our services on Veterans Day,” said Maryland Transit Administrator Tony Bridges. “We hope the free ride offer makes it easier for veterans, service members and their families to take in the commemorative events and memorials going on around the area on the holiday.”
Free transit will be available on Maryland Transit Administration Local Bus, Metro Subway, Light Rail, MARC Train, Commuter Bus and Mobility. Eligible riders need to present one of three IDs:
- Department of Defense-issued ID (Armed Forces/Uniformed Services/Military Retiree);
- Department of Veterans Affairs-issued ID; or
- Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration Veteran designation on a driver’s license or state ID.
While veterans and military personnel ride for free on November 11, customers are reminded the CharmPass mobile ticketing app provides convenient ticketing solutions for all riders…
