CENTRO TO OFFER FREE RIDES FOR VETERANS: Beginning May 5, 2025, Centro will begin offering a new unlimited ride pass providing free rides for all qualified veterans on its regular bus routes. The Veterans Pass is valid on all of Centro’s regular bus services in Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, and Oswego Counties. Centro’s “Veteran Pass” will be available to all honorably discharged veterans who apply through their local Veterans Service Agency. Once the application is approved by the agency, the veteran can then receive their Veterans Pass at their local Centro office. Transportation and obtaining a photo identification has been a barrier for many people who are trying to find employment, apply for earned benefits, attend medical appointments or properly care for their families, This program will provide an opportunity to our veteran population to obtain another form of identification and have reliable transportation.
