This past Veterans Day, November 11, Broward County Transit (BCT) joined the nation in honoring the sacrifices and dedication of military service members. Beyond the November 11 observance, BCT remains committed to supporting veterans through year-round programs and resources.
Veterans make up nearly 5% of Broward County’s population, according to FLHealthCharts, contributing invaluable dedication and resilience to the community. Recognizing this, BCT provides resources to empower veterans both as riders and as members of its workforce.
“Veterans bring a wealth of experience and commitment to our transit system,” said Coree Cuff Lonergan, CEO/General Manager of BCT. “We’re proud to support them with reliable services and fulfilling career paths, which allow them to continue serving the public.”
Public transportation serves as a critical resource for veterans, helping them access jobs, healthcare, and other essential services. BCT offers discounted fares and targeted support programs to make these resources more accessible. For those seeking new career opportunities, the agency provides employment pathways that leverage the discipline, professionalism, and dedication veterans bring to the workforce.
BCT’s efforts reflect its ongoing mission to honor veterans not just on Veterans Day but throughout the year. The programs aim to acknowledge their service while easing their transition into civilian life.
