Veterans Receive Discounts on Transportation

During a recent ceremony at the VA Medical Center in Loma Linda veterans enjoyed a special discount fare on public transportation. Omnitrans offered veterans fare and passes to veterans, allowing those who have served their country to ride for half price on all Omnitrans bus routes, OmniGo and sbX. Omnitrans joins over 1,000 San Bernardino County businesses offering discounts to veterans as part of the county's Veteran Friendly Business and ID card program, where veterans can get discounts at participating businesses with the county-issued IDs. Honorably-discharged veterans can apply for an ID card from San Bernardino County's Veterans Affairs Offices in San Bernardino, Rancho Cucamonga and Hesperia. The ID cards allow veterans to identify themselves more easily to merchants offering benefits to veterans including discounts, free items or preferred status. Veterans will not need to carry their discharge papers to prove their veteran status with a veteran ID card. Said Veterans Affairs Director Bill Moseley, “This program has been beneficial to San Bernardino County businesses and, most importantly, our veterans. We are grateful to all of our local businesses who have shown their support of our veteran community.” To apply for a Veteran ID Card visit https://hss.sbcounty.gov/va/Veteran_ID.htm for more information.
