Tallahassee City Commissioners recently approved a permanent program to allow low-income veterans to ride StarMetro buses for free. The Veterans Bus Pass Program started as a pilot program in October 2014. The program is for low-income veterans, including those who are homeless. To receive a bus pass, qualified veterans should complete an application that will be processed through the Leon County Veterans Center. There are approximately 19,000 veterans living in Leon County, Florida. For more information, visit the City of Tallahassee website. Follow StarMetro on Facebook.
