(WHTM) — Veterans will have their own parking spaces at service plazas along the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
There will be two designated parking spaces for veterans at all 17 service plazas, the PA Turnpike announced Monday. This is in partnership with state Rep. Jennifer O’Mara (D-Delaware) and the Pennsylvania American Legion Post 329 in Elizabethtown.
“We are proud to recognize all those who served our country and these dedicated parking spaces serve as a small token of our appreciation,” PA Turnpike CEO Mark Compton said. “This initiative furthers our commitment to honoring and creating meaningful opportunities for veterans within our community.”
Veterans will not need a placard or any other designation. The PA American Legion is covering signage costs.

“The dedication of these ‘Veterans Only’ parking spaces along the Pennsylvania Turnpike is a powerful, visible reminder that the Commonwealth never forgets the sacrifices of those who served,” State Adjutant Woody Hogan, of the Pennsylvania American Legion, said. “At The American Legion, our commitment to mutual helpfulness means ensuring veterans feel respected and supported in every corner of Pennsylvania—whether they are at home or traveling our great highways. We are proud to see the Turnpike Commission join us in this meaningful gesture of gratitude.”
