Introduction:
Connecticut Veterans Affairs provides bus passes to Veterans at no cost to the Veteran. Veterans apply online for the pass.
Important information.
- Bus passes are specific to the transit district(s) the Veteran is using.
- Bus passes are valid for 31 days from the date of first use. A new bus pass should be requested approximately 10 days prior to the expiration of the old pass.
- Veterans request a bus pass online. The initial online application requires the Veteran to provide a copy of their Connecticut driver’s license or non-driving identification card (with the Veteran indicator flag) to verify eligibility.
- Bus passes are not transferable. The Veteran must show his/her Connecticut driver’s license or non-driving identification card (with the Veteran indicator flag) when using the pass.
How to Request a Bus Pass
