CAT Veteran Half-Fare PSA by City of Savannah Government TV

As of November 11, 2019, Chatham Area Transit services at half the cost, following the CAT board’s recent adoption of a six-month pilot program that provides a 50-percent discount to former members of the military. This new initiative begins on Nov. 11 in conjunction with Veterans Day.

The discount can be applied to all of CAT’s fixed-route fare options, including $1.50 one-way trips, $3 day passes, $14 weekly passes and $50 monthly passes.

To get the discount, veterans should present bus operators with either their veteran ID card, discharge documents or driver’s license with a veteran designation. Proof of membership in a veterans’ organization such as the VFW, American Legion and AMVETS also will be accepted.

Half-fare ID cards also can be obtained by presenting proof of service at the ticket window at the downtown Joe Murray Rivers, Jr. Intermodal Transit Center, 610 W. Oglethorpe Avenue. These IDs can then be used in place of military service documentation.
