Centro to offer free rides for veterans
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV)– 'Thanks for your service' is a phrase often said to veterans. But Centro isn't just talking the talk. As of May 5, Centro will begin offering a new unlimited ride pass that provides free rides for all qualified veterans on its regular bus routes.
'We are thrilled to honor those who have served our country by offering free rides for veterans on our bus services,' said Centro Deputy Chief Executive Officer Christopher Tuff. 'These individuals are heroes within our communities, and we know that many have transportation needs. We are happy to welcome them aboard our buses.'
Centro's 'Veteran Pass' will be available to all honorably discharged veterans who apply through their local Veterans Service Agency. Once applications are approved by the agency, veteran can receive their Veterans Pass at their local Centro office.
'This is a great example of doing more than simply saying 'thank you for your service,' it's about removing barriers and creating real opportunity, ' said Pamela Hunter, New York State 128th Assembly District Member. 'As a veteran myself, I know how meaningful this kind of support can be. I encourage local veterans to apply and take full advantage of this valuable service.'
The Veterans Pass is valid on all of Centro's regular bus services in Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga and Oswego Counties.

MJ's Motivation: 'Failing forwards vs backwards'
Think about a recent setback you've gone through and ask yourself, 'How did I respond?'Chances are, one of two things happened: You either ran from it, trying to avoid the discomfort or you embraced it, recognizing there was something to is the difference between failing forward and failing others, repeating mistakes or giving up: That is failing taking responsibility, learning from mistakes or building a sense of perseverance: That is failing really comes down to how we respond, not the experience itself. For some, failure accelerates progress acting as fuel. For others it becomes a barrier. We will fail again. Every one of this point on, commit to doing whatever it takes to fail forward.
