On Monday, November 11, 2024, York Region is pleased to offer free transit service throughout York Region Transit and On-Request to veterans and immediate family of a deceased veteran.

Veterans and one companion can ride free by identifying themselves to YRT and On-Request operators by showing a uniform, medal, beret or blazer. The immediate family of a deceased veteran may also ride free by carrying something that identifies their relationship, such as an identification card or service papers.

To honour the sacrifices made for all Canadians, at 11 a.m. on November 11, 2024, all YRT and On-Request services will observe two minutes of silence by pulling over and stopping vehicles (safety permitting).
