Door County’s Transportation Department is once again saluting local veterans with a gesture of gratitude, complimentary rides on Veterans Day. Both Door County Connect and Door 2 Door Rides will offer free transportation to veterans on Tuesday, November 11, continuing a growing tradition of appreciation.
This is the fifth year that the County is offering no-cost rides to veterans on Veterans Day. Door 2 Door Rides has been serving Door County residents for more than 15 years, while Door County Connect has operated for over 35. The programs together provided more than 46,300 rides last year, connecting residents with work, medical appointments, shopping, and community events. For veterans, the free-ride day offers not just transportation, but recognition of their contributions and service to the nation.
Rides on Veterans Day will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to the current service areas and schedules of both programs. Officials encourage veterans to plan ahead as ride availability may vary throughout the day.
Door County Connect and Door 2 Door Rides continue to play an essential role in mobility for residents across the peninsula, and the Transportation Department hopes the free-ride initiative sends a clear message of appreciation to those who served.
