SMTD Will Continue to Offer Free Rides on Veterans Day

The Sangamon Mass Transit District (SMTD) Board of Trustees at their last regular meeting waived fixed route fares for Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11th.

“SMTD has fielded requests over the years for free rides for Veterans on Veterans Day,” said SMTD Managing Director Steve Schoeffel. “This is the third year we’ve provided this honor for our Veterans.

SMTD believes waiving fares for all fixed route passengers better serves Veterans and actually honors them in a bigger way. “By everyone’s fixed route fare being waived on Veterans Day, we honor all of our Veterans while also reminding the rest of our passengers that it is Veterans Day,” Schoeffel added.

While SMTD Administrative Offices are closed on Veterans Day, regular bus service will still be available.
