UPDATE: The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) has just announced an exciting initiative for all U.S. military veterans. On Veterans Day, November 11, veterans can enjoy free bus rides across western Riverside County, as a heartfelt tribute to their service.
This special promotion applies to all RTA services, including local and CommuterLink buses, GoMicro routes, and Dial-A-Ride. Veterans need only to present valid identification to take advantage of this complimentary transportation. Accepted IDs include a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs card, a California driver’s license or ID with a “Veteran” designation, a U.S. Uniformed Services ID card indicating retired status, or an RTA-issued Veteran ID card.
The RTA emphasizes this initiative is a way to honor those who have served and to provide them with the opportunity to travel freely on this significant day. Whether visiting loved ones, attending commemorative events, or accessing essential services, veterans can do so at no cost.
According to the California Department of Veterans Affairs, Riverside County boasts one of the largest veteran populations in the state, making this offer all the more meaningful.
In addition to the Veterans Day promotion, RTA also provides reduced fares to veterans year-round, ensuring ongoing support for those who have sacrificed for their country.
This heartfelt initiative is not just about free rides; it’s about recognizing the sacrifices of veterans, making it a day to remember. Share this news to help spread the word and ensure that all veterans in Riverside County are aware of this opportunity!
