All active, reserve and retired military members can ride Metro and Access paratransit fare-free with a valid ID indicating military status on Veterans Day.

CINCINNATI – Metro is continuing its tradition of honoring Veterans Day by making all rides fare-free on Metro’s fixed routes and on Access paratransit for veterans and active- or reserve-duty military members, including the National Guard and Reserves, on Friday, Nov. 11.

To ride free on Veterans Day, active, reserve and retired military members can show valid proof of military or veteran status upon boarding the bus, including:

• U.S. Department of Defense-issued military ID card
• Veterans Affairs ID card
• State-issued driver’s license with veteran designation

Beyond Veterans Day, Metro’s support of veterans continues year-round, thanks to the Metro Veterans Program (MVP).

Launched on Veterans Day 2020, the MVP offers military veterans, active-duty and reserve personnel bus fare at half-price. With transportation services among the top requests received by veteran-support organizations, Metro is proud to help provide access to employment, healthcare and other services that support veterans as they return to civilian life.

Metro will operate on its normal weekday schedule on Veterans Day. For schedule information or to plan a trip, download the Transit app, or visit our schedules page.
