If you are one of the estimated 12,728 veterans living in Ulster County, there just may be a half-priced bus ride in your future.  Should legislation sponsored by Ulster County Legislator Kevin Roberts be successful this November, any honorably discharged member of the armed forces of the United States will pay a 50% discounted fare between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when an official Veterans identification card is presented.

Legislator Richard Parete understands the importance of honoring and recognizing noteworthy persons in Ulster County based on feedback received from the local community.  It is why he sponsored unanimously adopted legislation that establishes a policy for the naming of county-owned assets.
