Mission

The Veterans Service Office is a Martin County program designed to assist former members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their dependents in obtaining federal and state benefits available to them as a result of their active military service.

You may be eligible VA benefits if you are:

  • A veteran

  • An active duty service member
  • A member of the Reserves or National Guard

Transportation to the VA Medical Center

Martin County Public Transit (MARTY) now provides door to bus stop and reverse commute services for veterans going to the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in West Palm Beach.

To participate, each veteran will need to complete the MARTY Access for Veterans Application, as well as provide proof of residency and one of the six authorized, government-issued Veterans IDs.

Participating veterans will be picked up from their home and taken to the closest 20X bus stop (either the Morgade Library or Hobe Sound and Bridge Road) to board the bus to the VAMC. Upon return from the VAMC, the veteran will be taken to the same bus stop and then returned home. Note: As an alternative, veterans can use the park and ride directly across from the Morgade Library at no cost.
