In recognition of those who serve and protect America, Amarillo City Transit (ACT) is providing free transportation to veterans on Veterans Day (November 11).
Veterans may ride both fixed-route buses and ACT-Connect free of charge. To receive free transportation, veterans simply need to show proof of military service when boarding or using the service.
“It is a privilege to provide free transportation to those who have served our country and sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms,” said ACT Director Christopher Quigley.
ACT and the City of Amarillo are proud to recognize the men and women who have served in our nation’s armed forces and thanks them for their service and dedication.
For more information on ACT, including route information, go to:
