Metro is continuing its tradition of honoring Veterans Day by offering fare-free rides on Metro’s fixed-route and Access paratransit services for veterans and active- or reserve-duty military members, including the National Guard and Reserves, on Wednesday, November 11.

To ride free on Veterans Day, active, reserve and retired military members must show valid proof of military or veteran status upon boarding the bus. Qualifying documents include either a U.S. Department of Defense-issued military ID card, a Veterans Affairs ID card, a State-issued driver’s license with veteran designation, or a Metro MVP Card.

Metro will operate on its normal weekday schedule on Veterans Day. For general information, you can contact the Cincinnati Metro Customer Care Center at 513-632-7575 or visit their website. To apply for a Metro MVP Card for year-round reduced fares, you can call 513-632-7540 to request an application, and bring the completed form along with your qualifying ID in person to the Metro Fare Deal Office at 7000 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45236.

You can find more transportation and veteran resources by selecting the “Veteran Resources” and or “Transportation” category tab on our Social Service “Utilization Library” page.
