We are excited to celebrate a new milestone reached in our Operation Transportation Program 2024 initiative. Created to support the brave Veterans who have served our county, this past year we provided them with over 24,000 free bus rides. This incredible opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without our partnerships with the Mid-Ohio Valley Transit Authority (MOVTA), Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority (KRT), and support from committed community members.
By collaborating with the local transportation authorities MOVTA in Parkersburg, and KRT in Charleston, we were able to ensure that safe and free services were available. Through countless interactions with Veterans in West Virginia, we found that reliable transportation was a big cause of stress. It became our goal to find a solution for those who committed so much time to protecting our country. Ranging from medical appointments to everyday errands, we wanted to ensure that we could meet their needs across the board.
Beyond the partnerships with transit authorities, our supportive community members played a pivotal role in ensuring the program’s continued success. As the program has grown throughout the years, local events have been vital to raise awareness and provide funding opportunities. An event that stands out is the Freedom Fun Run 5K, a community run that brings together individuals of all backgrounds and ages to raise funds for our Veterans. Year after year, the excitement of the participants is what fosters ongoing passion and support.
Another event we would like to highlight is the Veterans Appreciation Spaghetti Dinner. Hosted and attended by local volunteers and community members, this event is a great opportunity for those who wish to contribute to Veterans and the Operation Transportation Program.
As we celebrate the 24,239 free bus rides given in 2024, we want to continue to show our appreciation for how far the program has come. With joy, we look forward to growing our services in the near future. While the program may focus on bus rides, its main focus is shining an appreciative spotlight on those who sacrificed and risked their lives to protect our country.
Once again, we would like to reiterate our thanks to the Mid-Ohio Transit Authority, the Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority, and every volunteer, donor, and participant in our efforts. Without your dedication and help, it would not be possible to provide the services needed to honor these heroes that served our country. As we continue into 2025, let’s join our efforts to make a difference.
