METRO Honors Our Nation’s Heroes
In honor of Veterans Day, all veterans and active military service personnel are invited to ride METRO for free on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020. METRORail, local bus, METRORapid, Park & Ride and METROLift services will be free the entire day. To ride, passengers need to inform bus operators and/or fare inspectors of their veteran/military designation.
METRO also offers disabled or decorated veterans free unlimited rides year-round on our light rail, local bus, METRORapid and Park & Ride service when they register for a Qualified METRO Veterans Pass (MVP) card. Veterans interested in applying can learn more about the program here.
