Montgomery County RTA and Green CATS have announced they will offer free services to Wright State for veterans and their family members needing transportation to and from the university. Veterans should show identification, a DD 214, or pick up a token at the VA Medical Center.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs has selected the Miami Valley as one of 50 communities across the U.S. to create a myVeteran community. The primary mission of a myVeteran Community is to improve support to veterans and their families by connecting regional veteran service providers, resources, advocates and other stakeholders to Veterans. In late 2015, the Greater Miami Valley myVeteran Community was organized under the leadership of retired Colonel Cassie Barlow and retired Lt. Col. John McCance.
